Looking good Peter. I just finished my 1/24 Airfix Mk1a and it was a pleasure to build compaired to all the problems I had with my 1/24 FW190. Looking forward to seeing this one progress.

This ones on hold for a while until i get my missing aileron.

Well it was all looking nice up until the hiccup. Is this one of the really cheap £18.00 'specials' a few of us landed ?

Looking good so far Peter, I've got one in my stash so I'll be watching with interest.

I got my missing parts a few days a go and yesterday i got another one i think airfix can't count so work will be resuming soon.

I'd rather have them and not need them, than need them and not have them! (that applies to pretty much everything for me)

SO longas they can't count in your favour it's all good. Look forward to the progress Peter.

Just caught this build and loving the work but concerned that I may have the same parts issue,,,, I'm thinking how to contact Airfix and ask for 13 replacement parts for all the kits I got from Debenhams if I need them!!

You will have to go to thier website,click on cust support and then on spare parts and you will get a drop down menu to fill in.

Do you think they would send me all of them? I have to get into my loft to open a few up and check them first I guess.

Hi Peter

The 1/24 Airfix Spitfire takes me back. I think I built the mk1a when I was about 9. It stood proudly on my chest of drawers for about 3 years. After some minor mishaps (props breaking off etc) I packed it full of paper, set it on fire and launched it out of the window, as school boys do.

I must admit building another does appeal to me and your build is bringing back a lot of memories.

Great work so far on the build and hurray for Airfix and their aftermarket service.

Looking forward to seeing this progress.

All the best

Have you checked the wing dihedral Peter. I wished I had checked my Mk1a before joining the wings and fuzz because I would have made some adjustments.

Well i have had a restart i have got all the wings on but there are some big gaps in the wing roots so they will filling plus i have lost heart in it so i will rest this one before i make a pigs ear of it.
