1:24 SCALE CUTAWAY SPITFIRE MK1
Good morning Gentlemen.
I was knocked out by the response I recieved for my JU87 Stuka Cutaway...Not many people are interested in Cutaways so I was very pleased...thanks a lot guys!
So I thought maybe I will show another one of my Cutaways....this time being a 1:24 scale Spitfire Mk1.
This time I didn't expose the wings but did extensive work on the fuselage interior.I also made it possible to take the Fuel cells out and Pilots seat....(nearly a task too far!!)...It took me a lot longer to build than the Stuka because of the ammount of research I had to do to achieve this level of detail....I built it over the period of 2 years!!
I hope you enjoy the photos...as usual plenty of them!!...sorry!!

Re: 1:24 SCALE CUTAWAY SPITFIRE MK1
Amazing detail. What a fine Spitfire.
The cut away idea is nice. I always wondered if I should do this on a 1/72 Lancaster.

Brilliant work. You have set a very high bar.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
