Special Hobby 1/48 Spitfire MkXII

[snapper41]

Part of my ongoing attempt to build all of 41 Squadron in 1/48! This is the Special Hobby 1/48 Spit MkXII; perhaps not as good as the recent Airfix release, but still a great kit.View attachment 77537

Very nice Spit Snapper.

How far have you got with your squadron collection?

Is there any chance of a pic with all the models in question so far?

I for one would be interested to see the progress.

Cheers

Lovely job, nice photography too. I'd also be interested in seeing the whole collection so far

 

[Ian M]

Thats a beauty Andy. A very Nice paint job.

I am working my way through 74sq. Its a fun project, doing a whole squadron isn't it. The challenge of finding the kits is the hardest part...

You will need a replacement cockpit for the Hunter....even the Italeri version.

Ian; I've got the replacement cockpit, plus wolfpack resin leading edges to convert it to a Mk5 - plus some aeroclub bits; quite a bit of surgery required to get an early Hunter!

Superb paint job, lovely effects, a very clean and tidy build.
