It had been around 20 years since I built my last model (apart from a Millennium Falcon about 5 years ago).

My brother bought me a 1/24 scale spitfire VB for my birthday and I've actually impressed myself!

You sure picked a big one to get back on the horse with!
Good job!

Looks pretty good from here! Love those Spitfires. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I used to make 1/72 kits, but I really enjoyed working with this big scale. Shame they don't make a 1/24th scale Heinkel bomber!

No 1/24 Heinkel but Revell just put out an excellent 1/32 Junkers 88 bomber. Its big enough!. Airfix is releasing a 1/24 Mosquito this year as well.

Thanks!

Yes, of all the WW2 aircraft this, the twin boomed Lightning and the Mosquito are my favourite, followed closely by the Razorback (Thunderbolt)

Truly brilliant work, and the surface texture is perfect for creating those ingrained oil and carbon stains.

Cro-Magnon - I'm chuffed! Thanks for the comment!
