After nearly 2 years in build, I’m calling it done. Here’s a couple of photos.
\nBase kit was the Airfix Mk XIX but with grafted-on Seafire Mk46 wings.
\nBuild\/conversion can be found here on Britmodeller.com – Work In Progress<\/a>.
\nIt’s not quite what I was hoping for. Lots of room to improve (there always is!).<\/p>\n

The \u00a0model represents a Supermarine Spitfire Type 356, Spitfire F Mk 21 of 600 Squadron (County of London) RAuxAF, Biggin Hill, 1947 – almost 100% Airfix! (If only they’d produce and decent Mk XIV\/XVIII).<\/p>\n
