Okay lets try this again, Airfix 1/48 Spitfire painted in desert colors and decaled to represent a bird from 308th F.S. 31st F.G. North Africa 1943. http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bf443 The Corsair is not mine but I am trying find out what nationality its suppose to be. Enjoy Brian......

Eeek! Dead link...

Kencelot, try it again I had one "http/ to many" Brian

Too many http's... how did I miss that?

It looks very nice. Do you have any more pics?

Nice looking Spitfire.

Hello all, I have posted several more pictures of the plane. Enjoy and comments are always welcome. Brian...

That's one beautiful bird :-) I love the weathering.

:-) Nice looking Mk V. One slight comment, it is doubtfull that a Mk V would have had a wire antenna, they had a differant radio fit to the Mk I/II. The same antenna post was used but the wire support was left off. Hence the plate on the post to where it was attached, which I think the Airfix Mk V depicts correctly. But hey, if you want to have the antenna wire, fill ya boots. It is always possible that an early Mk V might have had it. In any event it's an easy fix, should you desire :-)

Oh, nearly forgot, of course you just can't have to many Spitfires :-)

Hi Holdfast thanks for the heads up. You know whats really ironic last week the wifes cat chewed the wire off the model and I of course reattached it. I didn't think the cat was that smart, little did I know!

I' m not an expert about airoplane, but...it looks really nice..congrats
:-)

Nice looking one. What brand is the kit ?

Hello csch, the kit is an Airfix 1/48th scale. I know its not as detailed as other kits but the price was right $8.00 with a 25% off coupon. I would like to try Hasegawa or Tamiya kit as well. :-)

No matter how it costed is well build and weathered buddy . Good work

Hi bf443:
I think the Airfix kit is the most accurate Spit in shape. It´s a old kit but I like them very much. I think that if you like Spits you have to count at least one of them in your collection. Congrats.
