I'm surprised to be honest, having built a couple I thought it was an excellent little kit - the lack of a cockpit in a 1/72 Spitfire never bothered me too much, you can see so little of the cockpit through the canopy anyway.

Looks great @Dominic Thomas - what kit is that?

Dear Mr. Airfix. Isn't it about time you re-released this rather spiffing kit, possibly one of the nicest 1/72 Spitfire kits I've ever built, and fill the rather large hole of important Spitfire marks you have in your range. It's blooming impossible to get hold easily and deserves more love. And why you're at it - how about that metal wing for your 1/72 Hurricane, and a re-jigged Hurricane mk.II?

Started painting the Typhoon and a Starter Set Spitfire mk.Vc. which I knocked up in about an hour or so over the weekend. First coat of Hataka Ocean Grey is on.

That looks fantastic - well done!

Nicely Done - I do like the Blenheim.

A cracking bit of work that!

I think I'll just get the recovery set and see how it tallies up to the hurricane fuselage although from what people have said the truck is somewhat under scale.

That's a pretty fab build Richard I'd agree.

Those are brilliant!

Very nice builds thus far Richard, you did well doing that Luftwaffe camo with a brush.

Wonderful build those.

Agreed, two excellent looking builds!

Nice! I really hope they bring out an FB version of the Mossie at some point, although to be honest, the old kit does build nicely.

Nice work Ratch - they're both coming along well. I started the mk.V Spitfire (from an earlier boxing) yesterday and I concur that the most time consuming aspect is the painting.
