All bush painted with Humbrol enamels and Revell Decalsoft used to apply the decals. Some of the kits had a few issues. The reboxed KP kit Spitfire Mk IXe was the worst fitting of the five. (The only time Airfix has released this particular kit) although a cannon armed Hurrricane was supposed to be a gun armed MkIIc and the Vb came with a 3 bladed prop whereas the BBMF aircraft has a four bladed one. Stars of the set were the PR XIX’s which were a superb fit.

You did a great job on them, its a nice collection but been old tooled airfix you where a brave man to tackle them. Well done

Nice work mate, they look great together.

Great work on some old kits! : )

Lovely collection,

Cracking collection

Looking good mate, are you brave enough to tackle a 1960's vintage Airfix?
