A Pile of Spitfires....

Post by Stuart »

Yeah I know - ANOTHER Spitfire Groan... :bored:

However, today marks the 90th anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire and as you can imagine, most of the UK based forums have some form of Spitfire GB on going. I've entered a few, and plan a few builds out of this pile of bits.

Not 100% sure where I'm going yet, although if nothing else I will be building a Soviet PR mk.IV and a mk.II LR.

Cheers!

Well I'm hoping for some Spitfires Bruce, but who knows LOL! There may be a P-47 in there somewhere!

They should be fun - certainly different!

so I’d like to put this here—Marius is doing some strengthening builds from classic Airfix kits; he’s built thr 109 and now he’s building the spitfire—and I’ve been sending him reference here is a color shot

Image

Is it colorized and can anyone confirm that the factory painted the aircraft green or brown first?
