Supermarine Spitfire

Eduard Spitfire Mk.IXc

Another kit finished, this one is Eduards excellent Mk.IXc with Brassin cockpit, wheels and exhaust. It's finished as an aircraft from No 453 Squadron RAAF.

Eduard 1:48 Spitfire Mk. IXc

Much has been written about the Eduard Spitfire and the history of Spitfires by better men then I so i'll spare you all. I modeled Spitfire ML296, 312 (Czech) Squadron, RAF, August, 1944. I painted most of the markings, Roundels, codes, [...]

Four ICM Spitfires

Back before there was the Eduard kit, before there was the Hasegawa kit, there was the ICM kit, released first in around 1999 with the Spitfire IX, the first series of kits to get anywhere close to accuracy with the Merlin-60 series [...]

Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck

Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck, with 30 victories one of the top RAF aces of the Second World War, joined the RAF in 1935 at age 19 on a short service commission, following two years at sea as a cadet. Tuck did not at first take to flying, [...]

1/48 Eduard Spitfire IXc

Here she is, 32 days in the making. What a nice kit this is! I finished it with Humbrol enamels and Eagle strike decals, 309th FS, 31st FG, USAAF, Italy, 1944. It assembles flawlessly, despite some odd engineering around the cowl, [...]

1/48 Spitfire PR.19

This is the new Airfix kit that I built last month. In my opinion, it's their best Spitfire yet. It surpasses the Mk.22/24 and Seafire 46/47s from the 1990s due to better detailing and nicer moldings. Others on this site have gone into [...]

Eduard Spitfire IXc (late production)

OOB other than using the last of my Victory Productions decal sheet for the national insignia and decals from an old Aeromaster sheet to do John Plagis' Spitfire IXc as it probably appeared on July 24, 1944 when he scored his last aerial [...]

Flying Heritage CollectionThe "Old" Hangar

A few more shots from the Grand Opening, this time from the "old" hangar. I love that the Hurricane has been properly restored in RCAF HWE markings, but they really need to pull off the spinner. The Oscar is airworthy, but not [...]
