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.

Royal Air Force Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IXc 1/48 Revell/Hasegawa

1/48 scale isn't my favourite, but Spitfires are so cool they must be built in every scale available. Very nice Hasegawa kit, possibly some issues with the fuselage section lengths but fine by me.




No weathering as such, just some shading and contrasts with ailerons etc.















No extras or aftermarket parts, all straight out of the box.








1/32 Tamiya Spitfire might be the next stop, 1/72 and 1/24 Airfix are on the workbench already.
