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

Title: Re: Achtung! SPITFIRES!!!!
Post by: Brian da Basher on May 23, 2016, 02:13:46 AM

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!

Wow you crank them out at Supermarine-like speed!

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

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

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!

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
