David Glen Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Greetings everyone, and thank you for inviting me to join LSM. My favoured scale is 1:5... Yes, I guess you could say that's large. Here are some pictures of my early-mark Spitfire, which took more than ten years of my spare time to build. I have more images if anyone would like to see them. I greatly look forward to joining the discussions. I have also scratch built WW1 subjects in 1:24 scale, and have been an avid kit basher for most of my life. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Welcome to LSM David, that is a truly impressive build. Is this really an all metal Spit? I'd like to see more pictures of this excellent piece of workmanship and I might throw away my 1/48 Spit XVI from Eduard . Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Glen Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks Rob. It's litho-plate over a mainly wooden core. The rivets in the skin are put in individually, and there are tens of thousands of them!! The rudder and elevator are fabric covered. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Welcome to LSM David, I have your book and I can say it's a riveting read. Your techniques are fantastic and very effective. Last year I saw your Mustang at the Cosford Museum and some years previous this Spitfire. Magnificent builds by a true master. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi David, I visited the RAF Museum last sunday, and by coincidence the 100th anniversary of the RAF. Couldn't help taking the time to admire your Spitfire. It looks fantastic from all angles. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
