Missed this, obviously need better glasses or a mental enema :smiling3:

Nice looking, tidy, well assembled and painted model, even more so as it's 1/72nd ... and even more so as it's Airfix !!!!!

My last 1/72 airfix spit was such a dissapointment, it ended up in my "crashed" SIG build.

Hi Joe, very nice! I have a few of them to do and also going to get into the weathering, puttying, sanding and painting. All whilst being a careful although fat fingered and thumbed clutz.

Cheers.

Hi remember building that Spit IX when it first appeared (Woolworth 2/-) and my impressions then I still remember :- heavy wings, fragile under-carriage, but very nice thin and clear canopy, and the best part (why don't more manufactures do this ) wheel hubs and tyres separate; makes painting SO much easer. That Spit I still remember fondly much better than the original Arfix Spitfire with bombs ??? Thanks for the memory.
