KevinM Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I finally finished this one up at the tail end of last year the original start was in 2011 here https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/1-24-mk-v-spitfire.28726/ had quite a few setbacks that really killed the project.The plane depicted is "Lima Challenger" she was a donation from Mr. H.L. Woodhouse of Lima, Peru https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205446986 .I went all out on the copit of this one and some on the engine to which I sealed up for posterity.I had to make all the markings and "Lima Challenger" is a dry transfer each letter at a time.I had to paint the British insignia then paint over it for the fade look. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Kev Beautiful build .. one awesome Spit. Just love Tamiya kits and their Merlin engines, even built OOB a kit in themselves. I built my Mossie a number of years back along with a bundle of Spits and 'Stangs and the highlights of those builds were Tamiya's engines. Just a couple of pics of those Merlin. Keep 'em comin Peter 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
