gunpowder Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk1a https://www.justgiving.com/DaisyThorne/ Well its finally done. Its taken 1 weeks and more hours than i can count. The challenge was to get sponsored to build the kit in 1 week and then auction it off. All of the monies goes to little Havens. This was also built in Memory of our little 3 year old Daughter Daisy who tragically died on 14/02/14. I always new that there was a really nice kit of a Spitfire hiding in that Airfix box. With the kind donations from Airscale , John Dutfield model railways in Chelmsford , Grey matter Figures , and Dave T. This has been a slog that has mentally drained me. I found myself starting everyday at about 8am and working on until about 4pm every day. The kit went together OK and with a bit of scraping , filling , sanding , and swearing it worked out. I made a spar for the wings to get the correct dihedral. The gun covers and side panel are removeable. I wont waffle on any longer other than to say , " Daddy finished it my little Angel , for you and your little Boys and Girls". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That's a really nice build for a very worthy cause. Well done. On a lighter note, the 70's called. They want their carpet back! Nice job. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That is certainly worthy of record bids, and the cause makes it even more so...I hope you get into the 5/6 figure range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
