Lee Drennen’s Academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XIVc

[Lee Drennen]

Mine arrived in the mail today. I’ll be hand painting it with Tamiya Paints and adding Techmod Decals. I chose the 316 Sqdn. RAF August 1943.

Looks like there is plenty of plastic for a 1/72

Geoff. Thanks have a seat hope to get going on it this weekend.

Peter. Yes looks like there’s more parts in this defiantly but these Academy kit are easy to build for me

Interesting stuff Lee,
Don't think there are any other Academy kits entered into this GB,(. Apologies if I've missed one ! ),So it'll be good to see how they compare
Watching all the way mate,

Andy. I think your right I didn’t see any as a matter of fact I very seldom see any Academy kits post a lot. I really like them they build so easy for my anyway. Glad you will be following along with the rest.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice one Lee

Thanks Ian glad you dropped by.

Good choice. I haven't built an academy kit in a long time, but do remember it was a 1:72 hurricane, and it was a straightforward build.

Thanks Colin. I’ve built a few of these Academy’s and they never disappoint. The go together well and the fit is always perfect and lots of details.

Hi Lee
Academy is well known but, as you say, not many of their kits seem to be built. This looks nice and clean. No problems so far

Yes I’ll be painting it a Brown color and I’ll be picking out the dash details also. Thanks for the complement

Looks like you are off to a good start. It is a bit odd, the lack of Academy kits built on here. Thinking about it it is pretty forum wide.

Keep up the great work and again the sincerest of apologies!!!

Ian. Thanks for the complement. I don’t understand stand why there is a lack of 1/72 Academy Aircraft here or anywhere. They are very nice and go together easy and there 1/72 Mustangs are fabulous Hint Hint. Lol.
