1/32 Revell/Matchbox Spitfire Mk.22
Spitfire replied to Martinnfb's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
It's a shame that there isn't a more modern kit available, but you work with what you have not what you would like. This is the kit that got me back into modelling, I used to lust after one especially when there was one in the window of our local newsagent shop that I used to stop at every day coming home from work, but with a wife, two kids, and a mortgage I could not justify another hobby. But when times got better I did start building kits again and this was one of the first that I built. So it will be interesting to watch the progress of your build. Cheers Dennis- 10 replies

IBG models PZL P.11c. Finished
Spitfire replied to Clunkmeister's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Great job that looks really good, and built at warp speed as well, I will have to book a slot in my build schedule to build mine. Cheers Dennis -
Tamiya Spitfire IXe with ModXXX
Spitfire replied to BlrwestSiR's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Looking great, those beer barrels do look strange on a Spitfire, but what a brilliant idea. Cheers Dennis -
Tamiya Spitfire IXe with ModXXX
Spitfire replied to BlrwestSiR's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
That looks great, I really must build a Mk. IX, I have the Tamiya kit in stock and a couple of PCM's so no excuse, they are probably the nicest looking Merlin Spitfires. Though they all look great, no matter which mark. Cheers Dennis -
Tamiya Spitfire IXe with ModXXX

How the heck did I miss this one, a Spitfire no less, it's looking great and what a great idea for a build the Beerspit. Cheers Dennis -
Hasegawa BF109F-4- finished!
Spitfire replied to BlrwestSiR's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
I'm not a great fan of Luftwaffe subjects but this is looking really great, it makes me want to dig out mine so you must be doing it right then, looking forward to more. Cheers Dennis -
What’s on your 2020 modelling shopping list ?
Spitfire replied to HubertB's topic in General Discussion
Hopefully the SH Westland Whirlwind will make an appearance this year it is the only kit that I will probably buy, being a retired person I can indulge myself (within reason) but there just are not any other kits out there or planned that take my fancy. An SH car door Typhoon could be the exception. Hopefully like the Gladiator and the PZL P11c there might be surprises in store for me, a Fulmar, Skua or BPF Firefly would be great. Cheers Dennis -

Hasegawa P-47 in a week?
Spitfire replied to Clunkmeister's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Great project, in a week I may have opened the box, read the instructions and started clipping parts of the sprues never mind building it, so good on you Cheers Dennis -
This sounds horrendous, but where there is life there is hope and I can only wish you all the best. Dennis

That does look good, I wish that there was more early war subjects available in IM, so if the price is right and the reviews are good I'm in. Cheers Dennis

Stay safe and strong, come back when you can but in the meantime relax Cheers Dennis

Jets really hold no interest at all for me, probably due to the fact that I was born in 1952 and was raised on WW2 movies and comic books, and the golden years of Airfix kits, plus my dad and most of my uncles were in the military during the war. I can remember while on holiday in Wales near an RAF base seeing my first jets and was amazed that they did not have props. So my formative years were filled with WW2 one of my first books in junior school was "Reach for the sky". I can appreciate the significance of a lot of jets and enjoy the power and grace of them at air shows but as model subjects they do not appeal to me. Cheers Dennis

Hobbycraft F6A D-Day - Ready for inspection!
Spitfire replied to 1to1scale's topic in D-Day 75th Anniversary Group Build
That looks great, nice one Cheers Dennis -
When we lived in Sydney, I was getting up for work one morning and bent over to kiss the wife and suddenly she screamed, looking up I could see why (it wasn't the sight of me) there was a huge Huntsman on the ceiling above the bed. However he was docile enough to allow me to shepherd him (or her) with a brush across the ceiling, out of the bedroom door, across the hall and out of the front door, I was very relieved as I don't like killing things and it was awfully big. Another time one must have laid eggs in the hallway somewhere as the hall walls and ceiling were covered in hundreds of small spiders which must have just hatched, took ages to get rid of them. Cheers Dennis
