Great story, as has been said above it does make you wonder how many more such stories are out there. Cheers Dennis

Great result from a really "challenging" kit, if a mainstream manufacturer was to bring out a modern 1/48 Halifax I would buy it in a heartbeat. Cheers Dennis

Beautiful job, I really like that. Cheers Dennis

Another imaculate build, I love the paint schemes that you pick, they look great. Cheers Dennis

Nice build and you have certainly nailed the black finish down to a T, looks great. Cheers Dennis

Very impressive, off to the Ace Cafe Cheers Dennis

I'm shocked and that does not happen often. Cheers Den

Hi John, built one of those way back in 2016, I got a tweak list from the late Spitfire expert Edgar, this involved me using lots of Barracuda part, the Edgar list is at the start of this build thread from Britmodeller. Hope it's of some use to you. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235015609-eagle-squadron-spitfire/ Cheers Dennis

This looks great, I'm so impressed I may build an AVG P40 to sit next to my Eagle Squadron Spitfire. Cheers Dennis

That green plastic stirred some memories from a while ago, the kit is very accurate in outline for a Mk.I it just need some TLC and some resin. Cheers Dennis

Happy new year to all, have a great 2023. Cheers Dennis

Well I just had to, having battled through the PCM Fabric wing version I wanted something a bit easier, and this fits the bill. Cheers Dennis

That certainly looks the business, impressive. Cheers Dennis

Great Christmas card, all the best Dennis

Superb and such an unusual but attractive subject Cheers Dennis

I don't think that the PCM is in the same class as the other two, though it was the first IM Spitfire Mk.IX, hence I snapped one up as soon as they were released way back when and it deserved to be built, but if the Tamiya kit had been around in those days I would have bought one in a flash. Cheers Dennis

After a lengthy error strewn build I finally finished (nearly) my PCM Spitfire IX, it just needs the IFF wires and exhaust staining but I've put it in the cabinet so I cannot make any more mistakes while handling it. It is a great kit and all the problems were of my own making. Cheers Dennis

Built one of those a while ago and it's a nice build with no real snags if I remember correctly, have fun. Cheers Dennis

I bought the HKM Meteor in anticipation of a Fisher F3 conversion, sadly that did not appear, so an F3 from Revell will suit me really well. Cheers Dennis

Superb build and finish, very crisp and precise, (and fast) as usual Cheers Dennis

Very smart. Cheers Dennis

Fast as usual and looking good, I must try one of those kits one day. Cheers Dennis

Looking very much like an early P-40, it does look very shark like no wonder the mouth and teeth paint work suited it. Cheers Dennis

I've got s few of those stashed away as it is a nice match for AMT-4 and I stocked up while they were still available in the UK. Cheers Dennis

Nice to see that you are still wrestling this one into shape and it is certainly taking shape. Cheers Dennis
