Spitfire GB

Rudy, I do have a Spit Mk. Vb I just recently finished that I'd be happy to share. As long as you don't have a problem with it being already finished? (It hasn't been in any other GB's) Besides, I think your logo would look great next to that sharp looking "Size Matters" logo you have there, ha ha! Let me know what ya think...

I'm currently in the midst of building three ICM 1/48 Spitfires, a Mk IX and two Mk VII's. All of them are being done in RAAF 453 SQN colours in the UK using Red Roo decals. They are getting done for the Interceptor GB (well the 2 Mk VII are) but they are all Spitfires.

I have managed to get the three ICM kits to the stage of needing just the dark green camouflage on the Mk IX and a Mk VII, the other Mk VII is in the PRU/ lt grey cam scheme.

Rudy, I just checked on when I posted finished pics of my Spit, and it was way back in May of this year, so nevermind my earlier post. I guess time flies, huh? Anyway, here's the link to it if you want to take a look:

Ok I'll bite, what do I have to do in a group build? I'm a little new at this so point me to the rules. I have three spitefire's to choose from. Two in 1/48 scale one in 1/24 scale.

Sounds good to me.

The 1/24 is Trumpeter's Mk.Vb, oui?

BTW, is anyone gonna use the badge? I can't as my sig is full.

Ok, rudy, I finally got another pic of my Tamiya Spit Mk Vb. I did this one mostly OOB except for a seat, exhausts, and B wing cannons from Ultracast. Finished with my usual MM enamels, Future, oil wash, and Microscale Satin. Thanks for letting me in...

Here are the Mk IX and one of the Mk VII after varnishing. They are about to have the decals applied. The second Mk VII has gone to get the paint job redone thanks to my fingerprints appearing under the varnish.

Hey Rudy,  Just seen the group build and was wondering if it's not too late to join in on this one. I have had a Revell 1/48 Mk11 ready to go and figured might as well do it in a GB. Let me know.

Steve.

All my GB's are open- ended, so it's never too late to join!!

O and btw, the 2 I's are read "2".

Yeah I saw that after I posted it and thought it looked funny. Good to be in the build and as soon as I can figure out how to post photos I will be starting the build.

Rudy, I just found an Airfix 1/48 Seafire III in my stash so I will change to that.

OK, I'll update the list.

A few more progress shots

Here are two of the Spitfires. The other Mk VII has some photos in the Interceptor GB.

Hey Rudy,  still here and going strong. Been buisy with other projects at the same time but I was almost finished the Revell MKII so I continued with that and almost finished it. Also got started this weekend on the Spit Seafire III. It's an Airfix kit and boy what a beauty it is. Enough parts to make four versions and the new sprue is up to modern standards with nice recessed lines etc. Anyway here is where I am on this one.

Steve.
