Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1a
Re: Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1a
What Stik said! I think I like the full elliptical wings better than those with the squared off tips. Looks more "Spitfir-ery" to me.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

those new spitfire kits airfix put out are quite nice, nice work so far!~
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others

Got this one in the stash. Might see about slotting it in after the 110.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Looking very good there Daz! What brand of paints are you using there?

Looking good Baz. One question, in one pic the wheel wells are green, later on they are sky. Did you accidentely paint them? Or do you use some kind of super thin masking?

Almost finished!
Daz, is the aircraft code the correct size? Looks a little bit large for this small fuselage. Just wondering.
