It's hard to believe these two aren't 1/48, great work RAGman!

Shades of the old Revell 3-in-1 kit! Looks great, Rick, can't wait to see what's next.

All best,

Thanks Dave and Zac! Today I airbrushed the first of the upper surface colors on an Airfix Spitfire Mk.1 in 1/72nd scale. Tamiya XF49 and mixes of XF52 and white.

Looking good, Rick. That would have been an awesome scheme if they'd just left it at that... love that color combination!

Great stuff, Rick, nice subjects, iconic machines, both.
I live near Gleneagles Hotel, where they occasionally hold secure military conferences and sometimes fly a Spitfire and/or Hurricane across to remind the rest of NATO what a real aeroplane looks and sounds like. If I hear a Merlin I always rush out of the house and drool!

Thanks guys I appreciate your following along! When these two are don ( the ragwing Hurri is already finished) I intend to post All of the Defenders in their finished state

Those are looking great, Rick. I like the unpunctured covering over the machine guns.
The final pictures of all the BoB defenders together will be awesome.

First class models all Rick. Simple quick builds are always worth building to keep the mojo going.
