This is my tribute to the Spitfire fans of Aeroscale: Tamiya's 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk. I converted to the Speed Spitfire prototype (K9834), using a home-made resin conversion set. You can't have too many Spitfires!

Jean-Luc,
Outstanding work, it is always good to see aircraft presented other than the usual schemes. It makes me want to go over my stash and see what I can create. Maybe a Macchi Folgore to go against your Spitfire and 109? Again, good work!

Another true gem from Jean-Luc.
Beautiful.
Its my kind of weathering too...just enough to look its used but not too much to damage the beauty of the thing. And looking at my weak efforts in this department its stratospheric. A very fine line has expertly been achieved.
As Big Mal (Holdfast) always says "You can never have enough Spitfires".......I'm sure he's drooling into his corn flakes.
Many thanks J-L
