    First build for 40 years Airfix 1/48th Spitfire FR MK XIV completed

    First kit, a learning process, far from perfect but some useful techniques learnt, overall quite pleased with outcome, the airfix kit is nice to build, ended up with 2 kits so a natural metal version laterClick image for larger version

                Not half bad that one, very accomplished build, spitfires lend themselves well to a great looking model, they are just soooooo pretty! Ha!

                Miko (looking forward to seeing your silver spit)

                  First in 40 years? That looks like you have been doing it for 40 years. Great job.
                  A very handsome aircraft the Spitfire. And this example is just as much so.

                      First build in 40 years and you produce a Spitfire of this standard, you should be over the moon with this. But wait, there's a problem. Only one picture. There must be more ?

                        Great result Mark, very well done. Nice pic, even if a bit lonely all on it's Tod
                        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
