Spitfire T.8 - 1/72

Post by DazDaMan »

I was attempting to do this one for the Bright and Cheery GB, but I never quite made it.

This is as far as I got with the model:

Not far off, of course, but not quick enough to nip it in before the end of the GB!

I'm not best pleased with the end result, if I'm honest, but hey!

That is YELLOW.
How did you find the kit, any issues?

The few issues which were created by my ham-fistedness included forgetting to fit the undercarriage supports prior to putting the wings together (hence why it is gear-up!).

Other than that, it's a nice wee kit. I've another in the stash.
