Hi all;
Next chapter in my quest to build all of 41 Sqn in 1/48! This is the venerable Airfix MkI Spit; not bad considering its age, but some work is needed to get a decent build out of it - in particular the wing root join to the fuselage. The kit tries to be a MkI, Ia and IIa, plus there are even sprues with cannons and a tear-drop canopy, so it even tries to be a later mark too! Therefore, quite a few inaccuracies, but nothing that can't really be overcome. Finished as a 41 Sqn machine, Catterick, 1939.
