~S~ Fine fellows,

I haven't built a model plane for years much less a Spitfire MK IXc CLP !!

Just thought I'd post some pics of this 1/48th Spit I've just spent 3 weeks,(on and off), building.

I expect quite a few of you guys build models of various sizes including, I know, flying ones !! (too clever for me ! lol)

I helped build exhibition models for 3 years in the RAF but that was a long time ago and now my eyes need glasses and my hands shake uncontrollably !! LOL

Recognise the paint scheme ?? lol

~S~ Painless

Mangler tip:

Photos are best viewed by right clicking the thumbnail and selecting 'Open in new window/tab'

At least that is hte case in Firefox as there are no scroll bars..(

Bloody hell. I assumed that you had airbrushed that m8.

The paintwork detail is truly impressive!

I also neted that viewing the images is best done by right clicking the image and opening ina new window/tab.

At least that is the case in Firefox.

I'll add that tip to your original post airless :)

I wish I knew of a place to purchase model kits. I am not interested in anything less then 1\48 scale. I'd much rather find the 1\24 scale models. I know you pay a bit more for these, but I love the size. Anyone know of any reputable online companys selling models here is the US. I know some are of better quality that others. I have had some Revell models that took as much time getting pieces to properly fit than it di to actually put the damn thing(s) together.

I LOVE THAT PLANE. :).I HAVE BUILT PLASTIC MODELS FOR 38 YEARS... :dog:.I build Models in PLastic. I have a Lindberg Motorized 1/125 scale destroyer called the Blue Devil. USS Melvin 680 and IT was in the battle of the Suraigao Straits..Where destoyers lined the sides as a major thrust of jap cruisers tried to push through and turned them back..This was due to old man Nimitz
