Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk.1a (Mid) - Ready for inspection

Post by Nikola »

Hi guys,

So, after 204 hours at the bench, here she is, completely OOB.
Spitfire Mk.1a N3180 KL-B "Kiwi", A. C. Deere, 54 Squadron, Dunkirk, May 1940.
The head-on photo is a bit off center so the dividing line between port and starboard looks a bit crooked, but it is straight. Trust me, I am a trained professional. :)

Best,
Nikola

Beautiful finish.

I've read Al Deere's biography, Nine Lives. He had some adventures in that Spit!

What are your thoughts on the kit? With Kotare releasing more kits it would be good to hear from someone with firsthand build experience.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
