Royal Air Force Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Airfix 1/24


Airfix "super kit" from the 70's was still huge fun to build, I recall I built this same kit as a kid and attempted even some kind of camouflage back then.

Despite the age this kit is impressive even today, there are endless possibilities for superdetailing and such but I used this kit mainly for pure enjoyment out-of-the-box-style and  also as a freehand airbrush practice target.

Note the 2 Euro coin beside the landing gear, this model is BIG! Storage problems aside, I'd really like to try out the "'Fix Big Emil" Messerschmitt Bf-109 too.
