Here she is finished, I completed the final jobs on her this morning before going to work.
Supermarine Splifire F.mkVb BL614 currently fully restored and on display at RAFM Hendon, modelled from memory as she was when displayed at the Air and Space Gallery of the Manchester Museum of Science & Industry 1982-1996.

Yep, top job!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Lancfan's Spitfire Vb "Flash Blitz"
I’ll say! She’s quite a looker!
Re: Lancfan's Spitfire Vb "Flash Blitz"
Bravo. Looks really sharp
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Re: Lancfan's Spitfire Vb "Flash Blitz"
It is an older tooling and one that I much prefer over the new tool mark 1a kit, it won't be a flash blitz as it will be planned and announced in the normal way as a personal blitz build BUT it won't be a BoB build, it will be a fictional follow on to a W.E. Johns book "Biggles goes to War" http://www.biggles.info/Details/15/; and will come complete with a short back story

Re: Lancfan's Spitfire Vb "Flash Blitz"
