Wing Cdm Colin Gray's Spitfire Mk XIV
Posted by Chris FFZ on Thursday, May 1, 2014 3:17 AM

The subject of this build is Wing Cdm Colin Gray's Spitfire Mk XIV in 1/48 using the HobbyCraft kit. Gray fought in every mark of spit starting in December of 1940 and ammassed 27.5 kills. He was highly sceptical of the claims of German pilots and felt their scores where greatly overblown.

I always like the brutish look of the Griffon engined Spitfire

Very nice build, how was the fit on the HC kit, I've found them to be generally okay.  I'd question his critique of the German kill claims, the Luftwaffe had a more stringent "kill claim" process than either the RAF or USAAF.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.
