Spitfire

My very favourite subject (after Spitfires) so I will be interested to see how you tackle this one. Cheers Dennis

Looks great, nice to see the information from Dana, will come in handy in the future. Cheers Dennis

That is most impressive mottle work, looks great. Cheers Dennis

That's a nice looking build, sad to hear about about the build problems, is it an older kit as the new 1/32 scale ICM kits seem to be rather good. Cheers Dennia

It sure suits that paint scheme. Cheers Dennis

Well I like it John, but have just been on a two week holiday so missed the final instalments, you just move too fast. Nice work Cheers Dennis

Looking better already. Cheers Dennis

I can see a ship model in my future after reading this. Cheers Dennis

Now that is different, it's also great to see an old kit resurrected, I haven't build a model ship since the 70's and that was an Airfix 1:600 KGV, which I really enjoyed building. Will be interested to see what you do on this one. Cheers Dennis

Looking good, I always liked the Mossie, we used to have one based nearby and saw it flying around all the time, sadly it was destroyed in a crash. Cheers Dennis

Agreed, even my wife agrees and recognises the sound of a Spitfire flying over. Cheers Dennis

That IP and cockpit looks great, the seatbelts though would make me go cross eyed. Cheers Dennis

Thank you for those kind words, I was most impressed with the end result myself. You sure got that one right about PCM kits, some modelling skills and lots of patience required, I'm just starting the PCM C200 at the moment, after building their Hurricane, Tempest, Spitfire IX and the Re2005 one after the other, I'm on a roll. Keeps me off the streets, anyway. Cheers Dennis

Great looking subject, one of the best torpedo aircraft of WW2, and that wonderful Italian camouflage, I will be keeping an eye on this one. Cheers Dennis

Thank you Joachim, go for it, it will be worth it. Cheers Dennis

God that sounds rough, it sounds like you were very lucky, but at least Santa came through for you. Cheers Dennis

I must confess that my display cabinets contain a lot more Spitfires than any other subject. Cheers Dennis

Now that is big. Cheers Dennis

Here we go again, despite Italeri bring out a new one I am going to build this one, hopefully with the new kit will come some AM for me, I'm not going to finish this for some time, the last one took a year. Here's a clue You probably guessed. Cheers Dennis

Thank you Gus, as you say the Italians did have some aircraft that showed the Italian flair for all things, the Re2005 is in my opinion one of those. I do like the unusual, I have built some French early WW2 kits (Azur and SH) and they too are pleasing to the eye. Cheers Dennis

I have problems reaching the legal speed limits these days never mind breaking them, no more flashing around with my hair on fire, but me and my 1976 Honda CB750 go at a more leisurely pace these days and only on sunny days. New shiny superbikes hold no attraction for me, though in my younger days I would have loved one. I bought the bike new in 1976 and no one else has ever laid a spanner on it. My bike was my only form of transport between 16 and 28, I used it for everything no matter what the weather, I also worked shift so night or day did not matter to me. Marriage and kids meant passing my car test and buying a car, which is a great way to get from A to B without getting cold or wet but it is not fun. Most of the bikers I see nowadays are like me either silver tops or baldies. Cheers Dennis

Thank you very much Martin, sitting here looking at it in my display cabinet is very pleasing, I'm glad that PCM did make so many different subects so I will start researching to build another one probably a Macchi C200. Cheers Dennis

Thank you very much, I'm stunned that I finally finished after one year, must try harder in 2024. Cheers Dennis

I hope this means lots of sales for Kotare and they can then bring out more kits, however this one is not one for me. Cheers Dennis
