ArmouredSprue Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 SPITFIRE MK XII - SUSSEX, ENGLAND 1943 (AIRFIX 1/48) Spitfire MK XII - Airfix 1/48 For the first time in more than 25 years I've built an 1/48th scale model. This was a Kris-Kringle present and I decided to build it despite not being my preferred scale. So here we go! This new tooling Airfix kit is really very nicely done, excellent details and fine and crisp engraved panel lines. Also the fit is just perfect and I haven't use putty at all. The decals has two options and I decided to do one flown by South Australian RAAF Flight Lieutnant Donald Smith. Don Smith was the Squadron Leader and it was his personal aircraft. References: The model: Until next time! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Just an outstanding all round build. I'm curious as to your preferred scale? And thanks for the real aircraft pictures. Good research material is always a major plus in my book. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
