discussion DaveCov's Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire IX (02081)

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely result from such an old stager. A real blast from the past.

Thanks Andy and Tim :thumb2:

I do have a soft spot for the old Airfix "rivet queens" but they do make the applying of decals a nightmare. Sometimes I remove all rivets but in this case I wanted an OOB build. I do have one more of these Spitfires in my stash and when I do build it there won't be any rivets left by the time decalling starts on that.

That looks pretty good to me Dave. Well done!
Andy you have to remember that the kit Dave has posted here is older than I am!!! lol
I think Dave said it was tooled in 1959.

Apologies, missed this cross the finish line. That's turned very well all things considered.

Something to be proud of given the age of the kit!!

Very well done.
