Here is my Revell 1:72 Spit Mk.5...built for kicks for my Dad..




Its out of box except for a Priesler pilot and Tamiya tape for the canopy metal bits..

Excellent build Jim ! The wheels up and the prop filled in show off the lines to the aircraft so well !!!

Nice build, Jim. Looks good wheels up and ready to get into the fight.

Thanks for sharing

Great fathers day gift. My old man worked at Shorts Bros
so will have to do something for next year.

Wow !! Geat job with the build. Your dad will definitely be happy with it (I know I would)!!

Thanks guys(and you too Terri!)...this one was also a bit of a testbed for my newairbrush..Iwata Hi-line....verrrry nice ...its a pity the subtletly of the paint doesnt show all that well on the pics ...I dont know if the light was a bit too intense ,or mabe it was cause I was in a big hurry taking the pics...but thanks guys ,im pleased with her...BTW I used stratched spandex thread for the antenna ...worked really well..

Nice job,looks real good.It's nice when you can do that for a loved one,especially when they know how much work you put into building a model.

yeah I agree its a good feeling...hes the guy who got me into models in the first place. When I was like 6 or so he used to build airplanes ....not much paint if any .....but after he was done he gave them to me to "fly around" the room ...Id hold them and move my arms around and pretend they were real airplanes flying..it feels really good after all these years to give him models back....hope he doesnt play with them though
