SPITFIRE GROUP BUILD 2007-2008

Alright her she is.  This is Revell's 1/48 Spitfire Mk II in the markings of Pilot Officer A.S.C. Lumsden, No. 118(F) Squadron, 1941.
It's not a bad little kit that has a few problems.  The main one was the fit of the wing to the fuselage.  I need to do some touch up around the canopy and I'm debating if I want to add the radio wire or not.  Let me know what you guys think on that.
It was painted with Model Master Enamels.  I'm working on a grass display base for it and will post some more pictures when it's finished. 
Let me know what you think.

BTW this is the first model that I have finished since getting back into the hobbie a few years ago.(some of you know why).

That's AWESOME Roy!!!  I'm so glad to see you put one on the display shelf.  Definitely deserves a toast! 

Roy,

congratulations on finishing this build! I take my hat off to you mate- she looks the dog's bollocks!

You should be rightly proud of your work-well done Sir!

Here's my 1/48 Revell Spitfire MkII.  I really enjoyed this kit even if it is an old one.  I used Model Master Enamels.  Replacment decals are from a fellow forum member as is the history. 

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. II
"Borough of Lambeth"

Spitfire P8088, 118 Squadron, Royal Air Force was based at RAF Ibsley during 1941; it was presented to the RAF by the people of Lambeth who contributed to the cost of the aircraft through public donation.  It was flown by Pilot Officer Alec Lumsden during 1941, who survived the war to become a well known author of aviation books.  The aircraft was shot down and destroyed in late 1943.

I hope you like it.

Now thats one  to be proud of!

Roy, you have done an excellent job! I love the base!  You should be rightly proud of this model, its superb. Well done mate!

Looks Awesome Roy I love the base too!  I just found a place where I can buy some cupboard drawer covers for $1 that are the perfect size and are prestained and varnished to boot.  I'm going to have to give the base thing a try.

Now... about those P-40's . 

Darren, thank you for your kind words.  It's because of you that I tried the base.  Your the base master.  I tried to get the label you gave me to work but I was unable to print it small enough to fit.

Dave, thanks very much.  I think I will have to do more bases in the future.  Just have to have Darren teach me how he does the runway base  The Academy P-40 is on the bench and ready to be repaired.
