Spitty looks great!!

It was. Tough to see in the pictures but the finish was like a mirror. Hence the gold medal in it's category.

Here's a 1/32 Ki-84.

[Gnomey]

Good one!

...how about a 1/32 Tamiya Spifire IX in a very different scheme?

Ezer Weizman's personal mount
he used to fly it during later wars that were being fought by much more advanced types, in a sort of battlefield monitoring role if I recall, until the Israeli government told him to behave himself

Thanks for posting that Andy. The P-40E was built by Chris Morris from BC (who also built Gabby's P-47 earlier in this thread). It's the Hasegawa 1/32 kit, and was one of the ones we photographed at the booth. His cockpit interior was very nicely done. (Hope you don't mind me posting this here Andy, not trying to hijack your thread but thought the model was worthy of another shot/viewpoint).

Very Nice work!

Heck Mike, it's your thread! If anyone hijacked it, it was me so post away! The more the merrier.

Here's another Tamiya Spit IX:

Very Nice. Not sure about the IFF wires from the tailplanes though - I think it had changed to a dipole under the wing by that period.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Crimea_River]

Terry, you know better than I. One clue would be that this particular bird, flown by Ian Keltie of 402 Sqd RCAF in about March 1943, later became Johnnie Johnson's mount JE-J (source Eagle Cals decal sheet).

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Andy. Fairly sure the dipole was in use by then, although early MkIX airframes might still have had the attachment point for the wires, in the area of the fuselage roundel. I'd need to check, but it's not important anyway!!

Spitty looks great!
