It has been a while since I have posted a Blog on here but here we go. This is my next Build.....
The Hull is also together. To give you a sixe dimension. This is my Tamiya 1-32 MkVIII Spitfire I have just finished.
More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Hey Mark,
The Wee Vee looks like fun - are you going for full hull? We don't see that enough in 1/700 scale. I'll be following with interest!

Another impressive build, Mark ! Good masking job and you get the relative stiff brass to perfect looking lattice masts !
Good job on the Arizona as well,i did the Dragon Pennsylvania some years back and the kit was a pain to build for me, which can be seen

Just getting around to this, they both look great. The cage masts really set the Wee Vee off don't they?

Love this build... may I ask what paints & mixes you used for the hull? That's how I want my build to come out!
