Two new models are presented today in the Modelling Section.
- 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk. V, No. 611 Squadron. This model by Erik Whipple represents an aircraft of the Hornchurch Wing.
- 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Mk. V: Marty Perry builds this venerable kit in the markings of 4FG, USAAF
Besides these new articles, I have been working on improving the functionality of this blog. You may have noticed the new Browse by label sidebar in the upper right corner of this page. This should provide for easy filtering of messages in this blog by subject. Enjoy.

611 seems to be one of those squadrons relatively rarely seen in published photographs,particularly from 1940/41. Very nice to see this example, Erik.
And Marty, considering the kit you were working with, you've done it up a real treat. Overall, the AIRFIX kit is accurate, if a little chunky, but with some refinement a perfectly respectable model can be made with it, as we see here. Thanks for sharing it with us.
