Spitfire Mk. Vb, BM124, LO-D, 602 Sqn, as flown by Sqn. Ldr. ‘Paddy’ Finucane, 1942.
This is the Hobby Boss kit; supplied as the 'trop' version but with box contents inconsistent with the box artwork. I elected to modify some parts to produce a British (Kenley) based, early Mk. Vb as the sole windscreen in the kit [...]
Supermarine Spitfire MkIXC, 601 Sqn (Tamiya 1:32)
This was a commission build for a friend. The markings are 601 Sqn but are fictitious as per the aircraft he flies online. The Tamiya kit is an absolute pleasure to build and features a beautifully detailed Merlin 60 engine set to which I [...]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk1 'LO-B, 602Sqn, 1940 (Tamiya 1:72)
As beautiful as the Spitfire is when its all 'buttoned up', I wanted to depict one stripped down as if in maintenence. This was a real challenge in such a small scale but I think it worked. The base is hand-made from Beech and I used [...]

Airfix New tooled Spitfire XIX
What I love about these new tooled Airfix kits are the simplicity and directness of the design of models. This one was built OOB. The decals work reasonably well given the price paid for the kit and are way better than some more of the [...]
Spitfire XIV & V-1 1:48 Academy & Revell
This model is made quite spontaneously, just a box in the closet lying too long))). All will recall product from the Frog - Spitfire-14 and V-1, in the 72nd scale? So, I wanted to do something similar.
Spitfire asked some of my [...]
1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb Trop
This is the Tamiya kit with a few PE and resin bits added. Rivets were added using Rosie The Riveter tools. All markings were painted on using Montex paint masks and the stencilling comes from Hobby Decal dry transfers, eliminating the [...]
Spitfire Mk1, RN-J, Flg Off Desmond Sheen, 72Sqn, July 1940
This was a recent commission build for a chap in Australia who contacted me via the online portfolio I set up this year. He wanted markings for Flg Off Desmond Sheen of 72 Sqn, Leconfield, July 1940-I just hope it gets there in one peice! [...]
RAAF Spitfire Mk. VIII
This is a 1/48 Otaki kit built in 2002. I followed the Aeromaster decals painting instructions which stated that the Ocean Gray portions of this plane were over-sprayed with "Mixed Green". They described this green as a lighter [...]
Rhodesian Spitfire F.22
My latest Spitfire. It's an Airfix 1/48 kit. Completed about a month ago using Humbrol enamels and an old Eaglestrike sheet for the Rhodesian markings. I never get tired of Spitfires!
