Default My 1/24 Spitfire

No Patch..well here something that might interest some of you...

Well here's my 1/24 Scale Spitfire MkVb, the mount of Sergeant Edward Jaworski No 315 Polish Squadron AF, Northolt, October 1941, it has just arrived back from a difficult and 'sticky' sortie having sustained battle damage around the front cockpit area, and is under going some extensive service work on the guns.

Everything as normal has been airbrushed including all lettering and insignia....Enjoy...Hmmm ..what shall I make next..











































A photo to show the 1/24 Scale please note the Humrol Tin of paint, and a 6 inch ruler

Very nice mate..made a few models myself of a Spit n 109..they take great place on my mantel piece along side a poppy and an old coin from the era..

But they are not anything like yours..

Very very nice! Like the weathering and the details on it.

How about a 1/24 109? I had an Airfix-set of those many years ago.

That's very nice mate.

Is it a Trumpeter Kit or Airfix? Much in the way of brass/resin additions?

Ahhh that looks spot on, brilliant work! That paint job is just perfect.

I love large scale myself, spend most of my time on 1:32 because of the limited selection of 1:24th, but me and my brother built up a 1:24th Mosquito last summer as a sort of nostalgia trip for when we used to do it as kids. It makes for a beast of a model, but it has yet to be painted since neither of us have the time.

EDIT: As asked before though, Trumpeter or Airfix? I've had half an eye on the airfix one for a while but have heard a fair few bad things about it. I'm not one for hacking and slashing too much so if it's too much work I'll wait until I'm a bit better at it I think

Did post it on here but can't find it, here one I did earlier a 109E

ATAG thi is a Trumpeter model.

try to stay away from the 30 year old Airfix kit unless you want to wrestle with it.

This has been built out of the box with a couple of add ons, Resin seat and additional seat belts. (did not use decal sheet as everything has been airbrushed)

Very nice. I particularly like the cockpit and the straps. Beautiful work.
