Oh nice... a North African Theatre Spitfire.

I did a Red Star Russian Spitfire. Kinda neat.

Yeah, I agree. Not often you find a nose art on Spitfires. Watching this one.

Nose art on Spits is not exceptionally rare… particularly on non RAF ones. US flown Spitsfire frequently carried some form, and I’ve seen some good Aussie ones in the Pacific as well…

Nice! I really like the North Africa aircraft.

Thanks Tom - I do like the Desert Spitfires - there's something about that camo and the Vokes filter that really works on the aircraft.

What Red Star one did you do?

Well maybe not that rare,but certainly from a UK perspective they are. It should make a nice change on the shelf.

Thanks Mike - me too!

Well - three primed Spitfires ready for some paint - I just need to sort out the canopy framing first.





I just hope I don't paint them with the wrong schemes LOL!

Let painting commence!

I did this one back in 2024. Here’s the link from Completed Builds thread.

Very cool Tom, I have the decals for that aircraft - two lovely builds those were and I remember that thread. The discussion about the Spitfire being the best aircraft of WWII was hilarious.

It's hard to resist.... Go on, you know you want to build one....
