Koralik Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Spitfire RAF 303, Sqdn, Jan Zumbach Model Airfix 1:24 model made straight from the box without additives. I was wondering what to say about this model? The words that come to my mind are not positive. The model is VERY Weak. Looking at its quality, I think it is a very old model, today 1:48 scale models are definitely better quality. Kit: Airfix Decals: Techmod Jan_G, Pfuf, R Palimaka and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well, it may be a bad kit, but you certainly did a first rate job on it!! Looks fantastic! Tim DonH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It was a very advanced kit when it first came out - it was of it's time, and it's arguably done its bit towards paving the way for what we have today. You've done a great job on it. But if I can just raise one point of detail: the ailerons should be one up, one down, not both drooping. (And don't forget to position the stick appropriately).

Of course I know, the ailerons in this set are movable, unfortunately, the fit is fatal, so they fall off automatically. I will have to stick one permanently.

Wegener Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Nice work. You can legitimately ignore the fixed flaps as leaving them down when on the deck was apparently worthy of a penalty round of drinks in the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
