Daz's Scottish Spitfire - **FINISHED**

[DazDaMan]

Got one of these beasts in the stash:



I built one a few years back, but it's looking rather tired and forlorn, so I've decided to break the kit out of the loft and put it together.

I'll be going with the kit's artwork option, which represents an aircraft operated by 603 "City of Edinburgh" Squadron, so that means a nice, simple aluminium scheme!

Oh, a Spitfire, how unusual.
Its a nice kit.
If you want to; remove the RATO attachment points, they're not required on the Mk22

[Old_Tonto]

Excellent choice Daz. First rate kit.

[DazDaMan]

Kick-off for this wee beastie will be THIS SUNDAY at 0900 HOURS!!

A quick photo of the little beast's bits:

A great kit for a blitz. Good choice.

[DazDaMan]

Morning chaps.

I'm gonna have to postpone this one until 11am, as I'm literally only just awake!

Building commences at 11am.

[jssel]

Standing by.

[DazDaMan]

God, I'm on such a go-slow today!

Anyway, let's kick this thing off....

Coming on nicely

[DazDaMan]

I've had to stop briefly while I conducted some very serious (and heavy!) Spitfire-related business, but it's starting to look like a Spit now!

Wings on....


Tail on...


Now I just have to do all the nigglies and paint the thing....!
