My son has been after me to post his Spifire photo. Here it is:

An output to be proud of, he's done nicely there Tom.

Go easy

That's great work for a brush. Any more photos?

Looks real nice :dude: His spitfire and those other works in his gallery looks way better than model kits I did (hand painted) when I was a kid. It would be coolif he put beer barrels under the wings. That's what RAF pilots did when they're having a party in their airbase.

I'd rather see a beer barrel in my garage.

The Spit is the only pic in the gallery that is his. The rest are mine. Those were airbrushed.

Dad once told me they got chilled beer in the Pacific by filling the ammo bays in a P-47 with beer bottles and flying up to 30,000 feet or so where it was 20 below zero. :)

Thus, the bewildered but thankful Zero pilot learns at last why that feared P-47 didn't blast him from the sky.............

Then there was the "beer run" from the supply base - they'd strap cases of beer in the bomb bay of a B-25 rigged to the bomb shackles, so they could drop the extra weight if they had to run from a stray Jap fighter. And reeeaaallly, reeeeeeeeaally hope they didn't have to. :)

Nice work on the Spit , tell the boy nice job.

Impressive Spitfire! Got the brush work looking real good. Good to see a young modeler's work.

Thanks for all the kind compliments, guys. My son is about two inches taller now that he has seen your comments. :thumbsup:
