Nice collection, love Spits (got about 50 in my collection)

I've been playing with that simulated spinning prop for a project of mine too, not sure about it at the moment though

Great collection! Will you add a Twin-Spitfire and/or an asymmetric Spitfire to complete the set?

Those are all a real feast for the eyes! I especially like the one with the prop blur. I don't think I've seen later-mark Spits done better. It's also reassuring to know I'm not the only modeler who gets fixated on a certain aircraft.

Those are some super Spitfires!

You've got a way to go to catch up to Weaver but you're off to a good start!

The TR9 is complete

ScranJ51 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 11, 2016, 02:45:09 PM »

They continue to move down the production line:

Mk 15 (left - grey) and Mk 17

Mk 18 (Markings) and Mk 47

Sound the alert - there is an intruder in the area!

"Don't yell, ring this bell like 'ell!"

Better keep an eye on that sandy colored fellow...

Wow you crank them out at Supermarine-like speed!

Looks like you're on course to finish up another flight of beauties!

This 2-seater is so unusual & nice...

Well that last "spitfire" has an odd look

These are great and I enjoy in-flight models, great prop blur

ScranJ51 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 13, 2016, 06:21:40 PM »

Yup = that last Fokker was a Messerschmitt!!!!!

Really? You know that there are support groups (IE Spitfires Anonymous) that can help you with this issue?

kitnut617 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2016, 09:10:07 PM »

I love Spitfires --- got to get on with my display cabinet someday so I can haul all my built models out of their moving boxes

You may have the most diverse squadron of completed Spitfires I've ever seen!

They're all a treat for the eyes and I especially like your Mk 47. There's just something about that DSG over Sky that just gets me every time!

Oohhh those ellipticat wings....

great collection !

kitnut617 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 24, 2016, 11:09:32 PM »

Very nice display --- :)

Just to be a JMN for a moment, the front propeller on a contra-prop, always turns in the same direction as a single propped version with the same type of engine
