    Special Hobby 1/48 Spitfire MkXII

    Part of my ongoing attempt to build all of 41 Squadron in 1/48! This is the Special Hobby 1/48 Spit MkXII; perhaps not as good as the recent Airfix release, but still a great kit.[ATTACH]77537.IPB[/ATTACH]

          Very nice Spit Snapper.

          How far have you got with your squadron collection?

          Is there any chance of a pic with all the models in question so far?

          I for one would be interested to see the progress.

          Cheers

          Paul

                    Thats a beauty Andy. A very Nice paint job.

                    I am working my way through 74sq. Its a fun project, doing a whole squadron isn't it. The challenge of finding the kits is the hardest part...

                    You will need a replacement cockpit for the Hunter....even the Italeri version.

                      Ian; I've got the replacement cockpit, plus wolfpack resin leading edges to convert it to a Mk5 - plus some aeroclub bits; quite a bit of surgery required to get an early Hunter!
