    Andrew's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XVIII (A05140)

    Following along Andrew. And as per your intro on the similarity with the Mk XIV, it looks like the plastic is the same other than the clear sprue and the omission of the weapons sprue from the one I'm building. Nick

    Tonys Italeri 1/48 Spitfire mk XVI

    Great job on the internals and sorting out that spinner alignment Tony. Nick

    Geoff’s 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Story - Spitfire Mk.I build.

    That looks like a very comprehensive kit you've chosen Geoff. Nick

    Steve's 1/32 Revell Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc

    Just had a big catch-up. She's looking really nice. Nick

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    Thanks for your support Guys. I haven't done much, but a start has been made. First thing I did was clip the wings.... Wingtips are on the clear sprue and will be looked at in due course. Next, I cleaned up some of the bigger parts to see how she looked... Looks like some extra care and...

    Nick's Mini Art 1/35 Tempo E400

    Still creeping forward with this one....... I thought I would have a go at the wooden floors on the cab and load area. Trying to have a go at a 'worn' look.. Last look at the battery before its covered up forever. Seat base in place... Bit of work on the dash. Steering wheel will be...

    Bad luck Geoff. Sometimes its the best way though..... Nick

    Andy's 1/144 Spitfire Mk1a

    Nice work on that interior Andy. I was wondering if the tooling for this kit is from the original 1970s issue of 1/144 kits that Revell put out. I seem to remember they started out at 12p each! Nick

    Portman's Spitfire mk.II LR (Airfix 1/72 and 3D-kit Conv. set)

    Joe's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk1

    What to do with completed models?

    I think I've only managed about fifty in ten years so the issue is a little less pressing for me. I've binned a couple and given one or two away. The others are quite happy to gather dust until I run out of space. Managing the stash though.... now that is more of an issue..... 🤔 Nick

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    Just to complete the intro to the build, I am adding a modicum of after-market..... I note the £20.99 price ticket from 2019. Aside from the fact of probably doubling my spend overall with these additions, prices have increased by 50% since then with the latest Airfix Spitfire release, the Mk...

    Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

    This is going to be my entry into the Spitfire 90th Anniversary Group Build. The kit was a new tool in 2019 and I think that I bought it quite soon after release from the only model shop where I live and which is sadly no more. They were mainly a R/C models place, but had a small-ish selection...

    Nick's Mini Art 1/35 Tempo E400

    Well my friends, again my apologies for the lack of updates. I have to admit that the sheer fiddliness of this build has somewhat sapped the impetus out of it but I am soldiering on, albeit at a somewhat reduced pace. Other projects have been allowed to get in the way, one of which has rendered...
