Your stock of those PM Spitfire fuselages must be approaching EPIC proportions by now!  ;D

Did you buy them in bulk from your LHS?

Cracking set of models anyway, really inspiring.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

I did get a job lot online from the cheapest place I could find, it's just a shame the OOB kit is such a duffer, apart from the floats :rolleyes:

The floats in the Eastern Express Spitfire Floatplane (possibly re-released by ARK) are much nicer.  Better detail but poor fit means you have to sand much of it off to fill it.

BTW, what did you do with the u/c from the Spiteful and Tempest? Any possibility of scrounging them?  Especially the latter!

Love the Italian entries - but must get sunglasses  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I would have liked to have been your supplier of gold and red paint! $$$!

Nice "theme" collection!
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

But I'd love shares in the manufaturer though... ;D ;D ;D
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Wonderful collection! :wub: The G56 and Re 2006 may be the most beautiful according to my taste, but I may draw the P-51 seaplane in my Mustang topic, thanks.
EDIT: I did it at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,4461.735.html (I confirm my thanks)

I've got a Me109W, maybe I'll give it a re-spray in Finnish colours  ;D

I like the look of the La 7, but the Tempest looks much better than the Sea Fury some-how
