GB 14 - Home Country Modern Aircraft/Spitfire Marks

[Wurger]

It is really quite basic kit Evan. Do you have the Airfix one...? In my opinion she looks very nice even made OOB.

Check.... Modelarstwo z pasj

I do my friend, also the Pavla resin set to correct the external details
Was considering doing a 'comparison' build of the two, either here as GB entries or on a seperate thread...what do ya reckon?

 

[Wurger]

Both the separate thread and the GB entry sound very interesting. However the separate one will give you more of time for working on , methinks.

 

[A4K]

Good point Wojtku - that's the way to go then. (Ivett always says I wasn't made for Group builds )

 

[Wurger]

Same here.

 

[A4K]

Wonder if Jola and Ivett have been talking behind our backs..??

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have a book with a photo of the very craft in it Evan. It's a black and white shot though and looks very similar to the box art you have there.

 

[A4K]

Any chance of posting the photo Aaron?
If that's PS888 you're talking about, then my uncle, George S. Travers, was her airframe fitter. He painted the words 'The last!' on her on completion of her final flight in 1954.

Is it started/finished yet ?! Looking forward to your first Spit Wayne, and about time too!

Thanks Terry, box is out and sitting on the bench ready to start, want to get the Ta152 done first....got 2 weeks off soon so will get stuck into it then.

 

[Airframes]

Jolly good. No doubt you've got all the references you need, but just shout if you need any details confirmed etc.

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers mate!

 

[rochie]

rather than try and do a MkI and an F24 i am now thinking of just doing my Airfix 1/48 MkXII instead !

 

[Crimea_River]

That would be good Karl. That kit builds into a nice model for sure.

 

[A4K]

It's a nice (and rare) version too Karl, go for it!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sounds like a good plan Karl...

 

[rochie]

going to finish the Dora and Tempest first, then i will get the Mk XII started

 

[A4K]

Cool stuff Karl, will be worth the wait!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sound plan Karl.

 

[Wayne Little]

Holding off too Karl, till I finish the Ta152....

 

[Crimea_River]

Me too. 109 done, 410 next, then my VIII.
