Spitfire F.24 - 'What If' * * F I N I S H E D * *

Well-known member
Well, it's been a couple of years, so 'bout time I got a 'What If' build on to the (new) bench.

All I'm posting for now is the 'raw material', but there'll be some updates as and when. Not going to be any sort of 'speed build', I have four projects vying for my attention just now (y'all know that anyway), although two of them are pretty much done.  I appreciate that 'What If' builds aren't too plentiful around here, but please feel free to ask any questions, make any comments and/or criticisms, I'm not precious about it, it really is just a hobby !!





So to pre-empt the more obvious questions:
* No I won't be doing a 'Swedish splinter pattern'.
* No it won't be Israeli.
* No I won't be cross-kitting with the Seafire 47, although I was seriously tempted to do that ;)
* Yes it will be OoB

Stand-by then for the first in-progress pics probably tomorrow evening, real life permitting.

Well come on whats it gonna be then?

Part of the fun of a what if build is keeping the audience 'in-the-dark' for as long as possible... Consider y'self in the blackout :drinks

So the 'state of play' just now; I rubbed it all down, then polished the plastic until I got a super smooth, glassy finish:
