RAF Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I Tamiya 1/48

This kit, the Tamiya Spitfire, was piled without even opening the box, hoping to make one day. I remember I kept trying to build from a small scale for practice because I also have a 1/32 Spitfire. I've built other manufacturers' and tropical versions of Tamiya, but this Mk.I is probably the most basic aircraft. It was said to have taken part in the famous Dunkirk retreat. I can choose three different markings without having to buy a separate decal.

E.E. Lightning T. Mk.4 Sword 1/48

Despite all the troubles, EE Lightning is now completed. The only supersonic fighter plane developed by the U.K. The movement performance is rated as good, but the armed and electronic armaments and the amount of fuel loaded were rated as insufficient. Other than the U.K., Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait have introduced it.

Red Arrows Folland Gnat T.1 Airfix 1/48

The Airfix Folland Nut, the aircraft of the Red Arrows Acrobat Team were built. The 1/48 scale is quite small, so it's compact size. I can't decide which color of red I should use.

Gloster Gladiator Mk.I Airfix 1/72

This is an Airfix biplane Gladiator. It's a kit from a long time ago. There are a lot of steps and burrs. For Airfix, the new Gladiator kit is pretty good. I inserted a neodymium magnet and displayed it as if it was flying.

English Electric Canberra PR.9 Royal Air Force Airfix 1/48

I made an Airfix Canberra. Marking is the Canberra PR.9, No.39 Squadron, Royal Air Force Marham, UK, July 2006. Although the marking is the aircraft of 2006, I suppose it's almost the same marking as the Gulf War or the Iraq war.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk. XII Royal Air Force Fighter Airfix 1/48

This is an Airfix Spitfire. I am glad that plastic model manufacturers in that country are offering kits of famous aircraft that they can be proud of to the world. The Mk. XII Spitfire was deployed only in the 41st Squadron, Royal Air Force Tangmere, Sussex, and the 91st Squadron, RAF Hawkinge, Kent, England. About 100 fighters from other types were modified. The Airfix kit decal can also be chosen from these two squadrons.

I made a Trumpeter Hawker Sea Hawk. The markings are from a British Navy 810 squadron aircraft operated by the aircraft carrier Albion in 1956. The first-generation fighter jets may not be called the current category anymore.

Tomahawk IIb (P-40C) Royal Air Force Fighter Academy 1/48

The Academy's Tomahawk is a British fighter. The fitting of the parts was not bad. The number of parts was small and the shape was relatively easy, and the decal of the Cartograf was beautiful and easy to stick. A marking is RAF 112th flying squadron Tomahawk Mk. IIb AK 578 GA-V Neville Duke pilot airplane in January - February 1942 in Egypt.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop. Royal Air Force Fighter Tamiya 1/48

This is a tropical version of Tamiya Spitfire. This marking is the 244th Wing Commander Ian R Gleed,1943 Tunisia North Africa. Tamiya's decal was too old to use so I tried to use the Hasegawa decal just I have. It's a very troubled work. Anyway, I completed it.

Typhoon Mk.1B Royal Air Force Fighter-Bomber Hasegawa 1/48

It is the Hawker Typhoon of Hasegawa. The invasion stripes are impressive and cool. It is rather big for a reciprocating fighter of the 1/48 scale. I try to paint the propeller spinner again.
