Original 1977 boxing of Monogram Spitfire Mk IX.

The decals disintegrated so I had to paint the markings. Not without its challenges but very nostalgic. This is still a decent model and the hobby wouldn’t be where it is today without them.

That’s very nice, it’s time I built another Spitfire……

I have a Kotare one waiting in the wings. Looking forward to that one,

Turned out nice. I recently got the Tamiya 1/32 Mk. IX. Whenever I

get to that, it'll be the first Spitfire since I built the Airfix 1/24 kit in the

Eighties.....About time, I think. Some of the old Monogram kits weren't

too bad. I remember building their Skyraider , P 47,AT 6, P 39,

,  B 24, B 17, F 84, F 101, and F 104. Nice memories.

Never did finish that B-29 however.

She came out looking nice Pete looks a MkIX to me.

Wow, looks fantastic!  Even at almost 50 years old that kit holds up nicely.
