    Lee Drennen’s 1/72 Hasegawa Spitfire MK.I Royal Air Force Fight

    With time running out I still want to contribute to the GB. So I dug deep in the Drennen vintage vault and came up with this old gem. I’m still going to try the camo on this. Click image for larger version

        Hi Rick
        Another geriatric kit. I think this started life in the mid 70s. Younger than the Monogram kit but still rather old! Not a lot to it. Will any of the after market stuff you bought for the Monogram kit work for this?

              Jim. This is 1/72 and the Monogram was 1/48. I’ve ordered some Aftermarket decals for it should be here before the time expires. I just can’t help building these old kits I know there much simplified than today’s standards but I still think they have a place on my shelf

              John. Thanks for stopping by. Yes Yorkshire tea.

              Rick. Thanks for stopping by. Just for you I will offer Tetley’s make sure John is screened before he is seat word has it he’s been dabbling again with pyrotechnics. Thanks

                  Hi Lee
                  Forgot the scale difference :rolling:
                  Old kits still have their place on our benches. I've just build that Monogram Packard from 1975 - not up to modern stuff but quite fun.

                      Silver plastic - brilliant. Now all you need is some really smelly glue to go with it, and that would take me back 40 years. Hell, 40 years !

                          Well guys, when you think about it, that is a pretty accurate model, being as how the real thing is made of nice shiny silver colored Aluminum.......yes, a good coat of zinc chromate will take care of all that brightness......put your shades on
