Scale: 1/72
Manufacturer: Airfix
Model type: Spitfire Mk F XXII

Picked this kit up from my go to hobby shop. I don't have many Allied kits in my stash so it meant peeling open my wallet for a good cause. Always liked the look of the MK XXII. Looks like it should be a fun build.

Grand choice Graham. I've built this one before and it was very enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

Nice choice.
I have the 1/48th scale kit, and will do the same markings, as it's my "local" RAuxAF Squadron.

Oh I better get moving ! So many completed builds ! Well I got a start in on this build the weekend. Tiny parts and not a great fit but I'm ready to close up the fuselage. I think my days of messing with 1:72 PE belts are numbered !

Progress report. Fuselage together with wings and tail. Fit is amazing, will need a bit of filler here and there but mostly ready for some paint. I love the look of the five bladed prop as well.
