Hi mates - I've uploaded photos of my latest build. This was a quick little project to build the 1:72 AZ Models Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk.XIV in the markings of Ginger Lacey. By the time I got around to creating this photo album, the model was finished, so this is the first time that I've documented an entire build, start to finish, all at once. The kit needed some aftermarket to improve the details, but all told it went together nicely. Enjoy the photos! Cheers, Bill

Masterly done, as always Bill ! Especially the cockpit is absolutely stunning. Really hard to believe it`s not 1/48 ! 👍 👍

Thanks, mates!
These older AZ Spitfire kits sometimes get some bad reviews, but I found it to be a typical build. I've read that the kit is somewhat under-scale, and that may be - particularly in the wingspan which is a mm or two less than the Airfix XIX. But the firewall to rudder post dimension seems to match the Airfix XIX kit almost exactly. And you certainly can't tell any wingspan difference when I posed the three kits for the group shot.
I really like that group shot, by the way. You can really see the differences just in those three marks, let alone the entire Spitfire line. Eventually, I'll have a kit of every mark, right? 🙂

Ah, uncle Bill has been at the bench again! I like These griffon engined Spittys! Again a masterpiece from the "garbage plate"! 🙂
