Edgar Brooks Memorial- Every Mark of Spitfire (sorted by Mk)

Honoring Edgar Brooks, a Spitfire researcher and contributor to many modelling forums, we have the Every Mark of Spitfire GB -- in which at least one of each will be built, not in a free-for-all, but to a "plan".
The GB runs from 27 Feb 2016 to 10 April and your host are Martin R and Sir T.

Edgar Brooks Memorial- Every Mark of Spitfire (sorted by Mk)

Post by DavidWomby »

I hope nobody minds but I put the models in Mark order to show development of the Spitfire and Seafire lines. I don't think I missed anybody out but if I did, please let me know.

It really brought home to me again what a great bunch of models we have created and a terrific tribute to Edgar.

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

That is really cool David - a great idea!

We should probably get this thread pinned but I'm not sure how to do it.
