Re: A Pile of Spitfires....
Happy Easter, Stuart! Thank you for the updates and congratulations on your finished projects. If you ever want to post photos of your work to SPAM’s Facebook page, write me to make that happen!
Make more models!
Re: A Pile of Spitfires....
That's a lot of spitfires Stuart! Nicely done and great variety. Are you going to do one from every country that flew them?
Thanks,
John

Those Spitfires look great, Stuart!
Well done, sir!
And those are lovely church photos too! That looks like a perfect way to spend Easter Sunday. 
Re: A Pile of Spitfires....
Thanks Tom!
Thanks Bruce - I would think I'd need to talk some better photo's before they'd be any good to you. Let me know if there is anything you want though.speedgraflex wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2026 3:16 pm Happy Easter, Stuart! Thank you for the updates and congratulations on your finished projects.

Thanks John! LOL! That would take a fair bit of effort actually as they were operated by a LOT of countries. No the reason there were in non-UK markings was due to the GB I entered, it was for non-uk marked Spitfires. Mind you, I've wanted to do a desert USAAF one for a while.
Thanks Mike!
Do it Mark - there're plenty of good markings! And Thanks!Duke Maddog wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2026 9:38 pm What a most amazing and blessed way to celebrate Easter! I love those old churches and the Yew.This Spitfires came out sensationally! I love them! I need to make an American one myself!
It was a fab way to spend the day, very peaceful. The tree is awesome, so old yet still going strong!
Thanks Gary! It was a really good way to spend the day. We have a lot of these little but old churches near to us, we'll have to go and visit some more before long.Gary Brantley wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2026 7:10 am Those Spitfires look great, Stuart!Well done, sir!

Re: A Pile of Spitfires....
Love what you've done with this "shotgun" bunch of Spitfires Stuart. Never seen a Russian captured Spit but it makes for some good conversation.
You've been a very busy man with these.

Thanks Joe - that's really appreciated! re
It's not actually a captured Ruskie Spitfire, we actually gave them about 2000 of them in WWII under lend-lease - a fact I didn't know until recently.
