Trumpeter 1/24 Spitfire Vb

This kit I built for a mate to go with the 1/24 Airfix Hurricaine.

There are some scale issues with this kit that have been well documented so I will not bore you with the details.

In this kit th decals were close to useless, they shattered in the water, thoes that I did get on in one piece the flim was so hard that no microsol or even MEK could make it seat nicely.

Humbrol paints all over.

Excellent Theunis. Love the subtle detail.

Wow is that a Polish flown Spit? Wasn’t aware of those - Hurricanes of course but Spits? Cool. Very nice job as usual my friend.

Polish pilots were amoungst the best in the RAF through the war. They made a huge contribution to fighter command.

Very nice. Certainly a biggie. Well done.
