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 of kits and were also useful for paint and other supplies. Certainly better and a lot cheaper than a certain national chain and the two guys who ran it were friendly and always appreciative of the custom.
According to my records, I have three Airfix 1/48 Spitfires in the stash and this was the first one to surface as I went through the boxes. It will be the first 'bubble-top' Spitfire that I have built and I hope to get started on it next week after a few days away.
Anyway, here's what we're dealing with:
The plastic:
Instructions are the typical Airfix nice and easy to follow:
Schemes - I am planning to do the late war camo...
Decals:
A little more to follow....
