Updated 29 September
Another update tonight. A new set of contributions from modellers arrived today (which is great, thanks to everyone) and I realized that I'd better put aside my work with historic articles for a while in order to post the pending contributions to the Modelling Section without much further delay.
- John Korellis presents a detailed construction feature about Spitfire VC of the Royal Hellenic Air Force - Converting Tamiya Spitfire Mk. V With a "C" Wing
- Tim Prosser's Spitfire Collection is remarkable in that it features no less than 65 completed models! All are attractively presented with atmospheric photographs, starting with 6 models in this installment.
- Erik Whipple presents his 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk. V, No. 92 Squadron, the machine of Sqn/Ldr James Rankin from Biggin Hill Wing.
- Last but not least, new images have been added among Historic Photographs

Another model that can simply be described as 'beautiful!' John Korellis' approach to the 'C' wing is well thought-out, entirely practical and expertly carried out, and the finished model captures the overall appeal of the Spit admirably. Well done!
And another beautifully built and painted example of the breed from Erik Whipple. Take a bow, Erik! I would like to see your models photographed outdoors in natural light, though.
The last of the 6 images from myself is incorrect, but entirely my fault, as I somehow managed to send the wrong photo. This one is actually an OTAKI 1/48 model in company with a HASEGAWA 1/72. Hasegawa and ICM 1/48 kits were way off in the future when I did the best I could to turn Otaki's Mk VIII into a MK IX! (Sorry Martin, I'll send another photo of the 1/32
Mk IX).
Good to see the contributions keep coming in, chaps - keep 'em coming!
And big thanks Martin, for giving us Spitfire nuts the Spitfire Site.
