1/48 Airfix Spitfire XII
I decided to try Airfix's Spitfire. It seems less finicky and stressful than the Eduard one I was wrestling. Here is my progress....moving along nicely.
1964-2024- too many years, too many glue fumes!

Built that one when it first came out. Loved it. You are making great progress

Re: 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XII
I love a good clipped wing spitfire. As much as a full wing.
I look forward to seeing paint on this one.

Re: 1/48 Airfix Spitfire XII
It is the best Spitfire kit I have ever built, started building 60 years ago. The fit is almost equivalent to Tamiya, biggest downside is the engraving is a tad deep but not at "Matchbox level". I have the camouflage paints except for medium sea grey, just ordered that color and it should be here sometime early next week.

The Spitfire is coming along very nicely.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

That's a really nice kit. I dunno whatever happened to mine.
