    Completed 1/32 Supermarine Spiteful

    This is the Iconicair kit, resin with a white metal undercarriage.

    Photos are not so good, not sure why. I took them as I always do!

    Finally two exotic aircraft side by side, the Spiteful and its navalised version, the Seafang.

    Imagine what that pair would be worth if they existed today!

    Nice sharp build, Steve.
    Great background too.

    Oh, and thanks a bundle, I've just panicked and booked a test with specsavers!

    Your Servant.

      Top class build steve of a very rarely modelled aircraft. I see youre a proponent of the old 1930s movie trick of rubbing vaseline on the camera lens to make the starlets more beautiful :smiling5: , but really you neednt have bothered , its a superb build . “Alright mr De Mille , im ready for my close up”

        Great builds - I took some pictures with my iPhone a while ago , came out similar - turned out the lens was just a bit smeary !

          Thanks chaps!
          You know, I never thought to check the lens! David Bailey I most definitely ain't!
          I thought I might have shifted the selector thingy on the camera from the supposedly idiot proof auto setting, because that would definitely do something of which I would be totally ignorant, but I hadn't.

          I'm calling them atmospheric No need for Specsavers Ron!

            Steve, you're a genius. I wish I'd thought to clean the lend BEFORE I set up and took the earlier 'atmospheric' images.

            Cheers

              First I would like to say that although soft, the photos are sharp and the pictures work very well.

              That out of the way, two very rarely seen birds in that scale, built and painted to perfection.

                      Nice job. But I actually thought the 'atmospheric pictures' were a nice touch. We just needed one in black and white.
