Re: Daz's private Spitfire
Just Finished reading that Daz. A bit disappointment really, not enough Spitfire flying for my tastes. 
What kit will you be using and scale?
I am sure someone on this forum has done one before but I can't remember who. Sorry whoever you are.

Re: Daz's private Spitfire
I'll be using the old-tool Airfix kit for this one, 1/72 scale.
I remember someone else had built this one before, but I also can't recall who did it!

Do you mean some one has already built a Spitfire on this forum I must have missed thatDazDaMan wrote:I'll be using the old-tool Airfix kit for this one, 1/72 scale.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

I'm bumping this one up to take the place of the two Mk.Ias that I had planned to do.
This one being all-over silver, it should be a piece of the proverbial...!

Re: Daz's private Spitfire - Monday 9th February, 9am....
I don't think I've ever seen anyone build a Spitfire on this forum. So well done to you for giving one a bash old chap. It's my day orf tomorrow so I'll try and watch. It's made my day. A Spitfire. Wait till I tell the wife, she will be so excited. It's not Christmas or my birthday, but when she's in that frame of mind I might strike it lucky - it will be something private although nothing to do with Spitfires I'm afraid. And it will all be thanks to you. Sir, I salute your valiant effort. 'Till the morrow then.

I will be checking in on this one. Can't remember when the last Spitfire was built around here. 
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Can you ever have too many do you think?
Good luck with this Daz, uncharted terrain for most of us!

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

Getting ready to kick off....
So, bang on 9am, I separated the fuselage halves from the sprues to get to work on them.
Four minutes later, the innards were painted:
I really must clean my Hudl screen....

Morning mate. A good quick start. I'll be kicking off myself soon.
I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

Getting the propeller sorted:
That be that then!
Putting the fuselage together:
Like so:
I'll put it to one side while I have a cuppa, a slice of cake, and the Father Ted episode "Speed 3".
