LDSmodeller Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hey Richard Looks good, I have the Airfix 1/24 Spit too. Are you going to use the kit markings? look forward to your build Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWKennard Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi there Alan I was thinking I might try to make some mask's and do the markings myself. I quite like the look of the 610 Sqn machines. In particular DW*E flown by Plt Off Constantine Pegge. Going by the colour profile in the book Spitfire mark I/II Aces 1939-41 in the Osprey aircraft of the aces series there are no under wing roundles or aircraft serial numbers. This should make it easier to paint!(we'll see!) cheers Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi all Can I join with this kit? Of course mate! Looking forward to it. This comes from my very favourite period in box art history, and is just pure nostalgia. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard That sounds really cool, I want to eventually do mine as DW-K, as this was the first Spitfire I ever built (Revell Mk I kit) and my first introduction to 610 Squadron. I have the Osprey book too, so know which profile you mean Really look forward to your build, especially the mask part Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wow, nice one. That kit's nearly older than me. Nice to see another Cantabrian on LSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWKennard Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hi guys thanks for the interest. Just a wee update today. I managed to do the prop and get the electric motor going. To my surprise the new Airfix motors fit into the bulkheads(the ones on the spru with the stand) on the original kit. Makes life a little easier. Sorry for pic quality, I need more hands!! Cheers for looking, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
