My 1/24 Spitfire

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?

[BP_Tailspin]

WOW

Fantastic!

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

Impressive work !


...but what octane grade in her tank?

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.

Very nice indeed, thought it was the Trumpeter kit, did build the Airfix 1/24 Spit,109, Mustang, Hurricane, Stuka 190 and Harrier when they were released and now after recently returning to the hobby again have decided to concentrate on 1/32 for aircraft and have 3 or 4 under construction ... if you were wondering what 1/24 to build next how about the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito? this was released fairly recently and is apparently to a much higher standard than their original 1/24 super kits.

I'm hoping Tamiya's next 1/32 subject is the Mosquito, they already have merlin engines tooled for the recent Spitfire and Mustang and those were outstanding quality!

Very jealous of those models, really nice job on both, put my amateur efforts with 1:72 scale models to shame! If we don't already have a thread on the forum somewhere could we have one for discussing model aircraft posting pics etc? Would be p cool.
