Seeing this is an open ended GB, I think I can committ to building every mark of Spitfire for it.... LOL.

I think if schedule permits, I'll do at least a dual build of a Mk. I and an F22/24. Be kinda neat to do the first and (basically) the last production Marks. 

Then I can fill all the ones in between..... Big Smile [:D]

Count me in too....I just ordered both the Tamiya 1/48 Mk.Vb and Mk.I, but I'm leaning towards the Mk.I for this GB. Might be a little while for me to get started on this one, because after the Sea Hurricane, I will be embarking on my build of Canadian Ace G. Barker's Sopwith F.1 Camel for a display at our Legion Hall up here. Not sure if anyone here's done the rigging on one of those, but it can be a bit time consuming. Wink [;)]

...and ditto on the group badge! Looks great!

Oh sure, why not.....at least I'm thinning out the stash a bit.  Put me down for the 1/48 Hasegawa Mk. IX.  Not sure if I will use the kit decals or aftermarket.  Might be a while before I get started, but it's always fun to monitor everyones progress and admire their skill.

Ok I'm in for sure and I already know what I'm building

 

I just fell in love with this pic when I found it, to me it is screaming build me.  I especially like the fact that the engine cowl has been so nicely polished, I can see a coat or two of Alclad II polished Aluminum in my future I think. 

 

Oh and by the way, I kinda do like Spitfires Big Smile [:D]
