Manufacturer: Airfix
Model: Mk.I (Kit Number A05115A)
Scale: 1:48

Another great Airfix kit without the hassles of the newer one. Detail is a little softer but if I had my drothers and was going to build another, I would pick this kit.

....and with its stripey-nose brother, JZ⦾E s/n AR213

As always I would like to say thanks to all who offered advice, commented or just popped in for a shufti

Another nice one Geo. Now what?

 

[fubar57]

Thanks Andy. I was tempted to bring out the Mk.XII but I think I would run out of time. I've got a few that are close to being finished so I'll rummage through that until GB-50 starts

Thank you very much gentlemen

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely work George!

 

[Ralph Haus]

Ya did Good! Amazing build, as usual. I am always drawn to anything that has yellow on it. This is perfect.

Another beauty Geo

Very nice work there George.
With that yellow nose you almost expect to see black crosses on it instead of bulls eyes

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. Glenn, I would really like to include a German Spitfire in my "Captured" collection but I need to thin the stash down and purchase this - $28 to beaucoup dinero depending where you look...

 

[T Bolt]

Yes, that would look very cool sitting on the display shelf. Would have a lot of people scratching there heads.

 

[Wayne Little]

Really like that George.

Thank you Wayne
