1985 Monogram "British Spitfire"

[ShutterAce]

This is the old Monogram mold. A friend of mine found it in his late fathers belongings and handed it over to me a month or so ago. I built it as I would have then, brush painting and all.

And some video too.

I'm planning on presenting it to my unsuspecting friend sometime this week.

That spitfire brings back memories.
Reminds me of the scheme I did with it. Nice work on that.

Interesting solution to the old decals not settling down

Nice job, your friend will be well pleased.

Like the 12' workbench.

Thanks everyone. It's 1/48th scale. I'm not sure how old the mold is but it is at least from the early 70's originally.

The decal trick is a bit harsh but sometimes you just gotta do what you just gotta do.
