discussion Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1 for the 2025 BoB GB

[Nicko]

Well, here she is Guys. An altogether painless build of a nice little kit from Airfix. The scheme is for a 602 Sqn aircraft based at RAF Westhampnett in Sussex during August 1940. The main paints used were an SMS RAF Sky on the underside with MRP Dark Earth and Dark Green on the upper surfaces.

The pics - even managed to get it out into the sunshine for most of them!














Thanks to PaulT for getting the Group Build off the ground and to everyone that followed along with this build.

Nick.

That's a gorgeous build Nicko, what's not to love about an early Mk1 Spitfire, that early temperate camouflage is so iconic.
an excellent result indeed.

Thats a thing of beauty

The word iconic gets used a bit too easily these days but the spit is definatly an icon
