    Airfix 1/24 spitfire Mk. IXc (The new one)

    Been sat in the stash for a few months so I have had a go at it.
    The cockpit went together like a dream but problems started when I went to install it as one misaligned part will bugger the rest of it and that's exactly what happened.
    Saying that it's a nice kit I just concentrated on the paint work and I love a spitfire in d day markings Click image for larger version

          Looks great. Really nice paint scheme and the cockpit looks fabulous. Might need to put this on my Christmas list, though probably for next year!

                    That looks really superb, I would love to build the larger scale kits like this but my hobby room would not take it.

                      Outstanding modelling Peter, and a lovely paint job too :thumb2:

                        I can't see where that misaligned part 'buggered up the rest of it' as you put it. That's turned out beautifully.

                          Truly beautiful, the paintwork is absolutely spot on, one certinly to be very proud of and a well deserved 'doggs'
