Supermarine Spitfire

My Vanity Spitfire

The RAF allowed Squadron and Wing Leaders to use their initials as their code. Famous ones are JEJ, DB, and RST. As I always fancied myself as an Sqn. Leader in an Eagle Sqn, Why not have my vanity codes? The problem was the only aircraft [...]

Review: KOTARE 1/32 Spitfire Mk 1a Review

ICM 1/48th Scale P-51B

Hi All! One may hazard a guess from the Mig-3 and Yak-9 I built from ICM, that all of their kits are, well (I'll be nice) not up to modern standards. That is not true. ICM's twin-stage Merlin Spitfire series was the best on the market [...]

Spitfire Mk. Vc: Airfix 1/72

My version of ES352 of No. 43 Squadron, based in Italy in 1943. The kit is the relatively new one from Airfix, purchased a year ago during a trip to Hendon, and built pretty much completely out-of-the-box. It fell together easily enough - [...]

Review: Kotare Models 1/32 Spitfire Mk1a Mid productionFirst look

This lovely looking thing arrived from NZ in the week. I’m not going to say too much. I’m impressed by the quality. The instructions are exactly the same as a WNW booklet but then again that company probably produced the best [...]
