I’m working on three of them right now. The larger one is Airfix’s Spitfire Mk. IX, which is ready for decals. The smaller one with the two color camo is Airfix’s 1/72 Spitfire Mk. V, all ready for a coat of Future. And the last one is Hasegawa’s 1/72 Spitfire Mk. IX, which has been converted to a Mk. VIII (the kit has both sets of parts), ready for masking and a second coat of paint.
Gotta love them Spitfires!
Who could blame you Jon, it’s an awesome aircraft. I thought you were a P-40 guy though? [;)]
Jon-
Sorry to hear about your affliction. And I thight I had it bad…
Spitfire obsession [;)]
Hehehe… I just finished one… a P-40B. 
And I have 4 waiting to be built. Along with 9 Spitfires…
Spitfires and P-40s… a dual obsession. If I had to rank my top 5 aircraft, it would be:
So…word is you like Spits? I don’t see it [X-)]
Nice lookin work there Jon. Your camo work is nicely done.
Andy
Are you planning to do each variant in 1/72, 1/48 & 1/32? LOL
Jon, don’t forget these. Still to be found at the LHS.
Great work Jon. The camo looks excellent!
Very nice work Jon. Camo looks real nice.
Be careful about letting your obsessions know to the public. i am still trying to get the 190 monkey off my back[;)]
Daywalker- It is a particular affliction, isn’t it? Still… could be worse… [;)]
southern dragon- LOL [:D]
Wulf- Thanks for the kind words!
tigerman- Actually, yes. [;)] Right now I only have room for 1/72 and 1/48 scale aircraft. But we’ll be building an addition on to our house, and part of it will be for my models. So 1/32 will be included, as will…
Wirraway- …1/24th scale! Don’t think I’ve forgotten that kit? They’ll all be game! (Have you built that one?)
ModelNerd- Thanks so much!
wing_nut- Thanks very much! Be proud of your -190 obsession! [;)]
Last time I checked, I had 10 190’s, and 10 109’s to build. I think I need help… [V]
Camo looks good so far as does the overall construction. they all look clean and tight. Juggling 3 spitfires at the same time now that will keep you busy. My favorite allied aircraft is the spitefire. IMO it was the only allied fighter that could stand toe to toe with the best the luftwaffe had. I seem to have the same problem, but refuse to seek help. Beside the 4 you see here I also have 2 on display.
and 6 yet to be built. Doesn’t the saying go Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. based on that I don’t see your problem.
Daywalker, with that many 109’s and 190’s I think you need to seek a 12 step program[:)]
Oh wait a second I build alot of those too.
If I remember correctly the top 3 selling aircraft models are the 109, 190, and spirtfire. So no suprise you see alot of them around.
Phoenix-
LOL. Those are some beautiful Spitfires you have there! Did I mention that I have 8 of those to build too? [V]
I think you’re right, I may need professional help! [8-]
To help build them, or to buy more? Certainly you need more just to cover all the possible variants, and don’t forget that Gartex V-tail job.
Hey, how did you get that picture of my stash!!!?
And those are nice looking Spitfires, Jon. Well done.
Oh no! I’ve infected the other forum members![:O]
If you suspect that you have the Spitfire bug, remain calm. For it is perfectly normal to be in awe of this great fighter. There is no cure for this affliction, although regular building of Spitfire models can ease the syptoms.
[:D]
Whew! Glad there is a cure (as he reaches to the shelf to pull down another Spitfire model). [:D]
If one doesn’t have a spit in their stash (yes, it does happen! [:P] ), then will a Hurricane or a Sopwith Camel do in a pinch? [;)]
You risk going into withdrawals! Quick- head to the nearest LHS and get at least one Spitfire in your stash!
Or a Seafire… even an S6B!
But hurry! Oh, the humanity!
