Hi guys:

Searching for some data in the www I found this. Itīs an amazing collection of Spitfires in 1/72 scale.
Want to share it with you all.

Cheers Carlos

Thanks for the link - I think Mal should like this one! If you had the space, can you imagine putting together a collection like this in 1/48...

All the best

Hi Rowan:

I can imagine not only the space needed, also the time.He says he has 400 Spits now and he thinks he will end it in 700.
I would love a collection like that with me.

Sort of proves my point "you just can't have to many Spitfires" :-)

Hi Mal & Rowan:

Looking at the pics I noticed that the Mk IX with the D Day stripes posed over a mirror wich reflects the undersides has two big "tanks" that seems to be some kind of cans. Do you guys have any idea of what are those things ? Are they beer cans ? :-) :-) :-)

They are beer kegs, a delivery for the mess. This apparently did happen?
