Finished a ‘simple build’ today of the 1:72 scale AZ Model Spitfire HF Mk VI which was one of the bargain kits I picked up at last Sunday’s show. I was in need of something simple to pass the time while I considered what after market bits, if any, to acquire for a Lancaster I also have on the workbench.
This is the very unusual, long winged high altitude Spitfire, which I finished in the colours of P/O C.B.Brown’s aircraft of 616 Squadron, RAF Kingscliffe, May 1942.
In building this kit, I made 3 frustrating mistakes …
1. Attempting to hand paint acrylics in a heatwave!
2. Not researching a better kit to meet my ‘simple build’ criteria, as this was really quite painful!
3. Choosing to buy this kit in the first place!
