Hello all
Thought I'd share a few pics I found as I was digging through old photographs
This is my 1/32 "Matchbox" Spitfire Mk 22/24 built about 20 years ago.
It was built for my wife as she loves Spitfires and managed to survive for a few years on top of the living room unit until one day the cat decided to see if it could fly
I've not got round to repairing it yet but it was a great model to build.
Canopy opened, managed to work it so the wheels retracted ,propeller rotated if you blew on it,and gun and engine covers could be removed.




Oh happy days

SAS007

(PS Cat has about 3 lives left )
