1/48 Airfix Spitfire XII

[Britwit]

I decided to try Airfix's Spitfire. It seems less finicky and stressful than the Eduard one I was wrestling. Here is my progress....moving along nicely.

Built that one when it first came out. Loved it. You are making great progress

[PaulBradley]

Me, too - I liked it.

[Britwit]

More "stuff" added and a touch of putty.

[Britwit]

The tail assembly is done.

[Britwit]

Flaps on.

Thanks, I "busied up" the bottom.

Last part on the bottom before I paint. Masking and painting next.

I love a good clipped wing spitfire. As much as a full wing.

I look forward to seeing paint on this one.

[Stuart]

Very nice - I hear good things about this kit.

[Britwit]

It is the best Spitfire kit I have ever built, started building 60 years ago. The fit is almost equivalent to Tamiya, biggest downside is the engraving is a tad deep but not at "Matchbox level". I have the camouflage paints except for medium sea grey, just ordered that color and it should be here sometime early next week.

The Spitfire is coming along very nicely.

[Britwit]

Thanks...date paint should arrive.

That's a really nice kit. I dunno whatever happened to mine.
