We have a little Spitfire modelling festival this weekend, with no less than seven new articles and thirteen commendable models on display in the Modelling section. Notably, many unusual Spitfire paint schemes are included.

It took us some deliberation to include also some of the other RAF aircraft of the period in Tim Prosser's article. We decided that they definitely fit into the formula of this site, and... we want more of those in the future. Keep them coming!
