Flying Legends 1/4 scale MK9 Spitfire

[Mike Booth]

Well done Neil, simply perfect to my artist eye.
In some respects the light played a part, as some taken in full sunlight are not as good.
With your permission I would like to use it commercially for promotion of the kit etc, credited of course.

Cheers mate. Mike.

Hi Mike,

PM me your e-mail address & I'll send you some bigger pictures rather than that small one. I also have a load of other pictures of the Spitfires taken at Oz last weekend, too, which you can use.

I also posted the picture on RCUniverse & there were one or two comments about how good the model looked - perhaps you'd like to have a look & make some comments. You never know might be able to flog a few to the States

TTFN,

Many thanks Neil, Im at studio.mike@btinternet.com

I see what you mean, fantastic. The shot of the Fleet air arm Corsair for example, is incredible when you think of the light conditions.
The best ive seen , you have obviously got all the ingredients right with the gear and speed knowledge.

Well done.
Mike.

Thats Captain Baldock-Marrow watching and the CO saying 'time for a haircut and let go when i give it full chat'.

Just to let the masses know, I am in the process of updating the Flying Legends website and changing server.
In future there will be full details and gallery of the prototypes flying , build pictures and all kit details.
I have just exported one to a Swiss customer who is a long term model maker.
Over a period of some time he has built and owned 11 scale Spitfire's.
His comment on unpacking the Flying Legend shipping crates was, ' Martin Luther King said ''I have a dream'' I now have the dream'.

Cheers Mike.

I've just got another one of your creations to build Chocky, this time it's your old 1/5th scale Mk Vb.

[Mike Booth]

Amazing how they keep poping up, Ive got some spares left for it if you need some bits.

[stewart clifford]

That reminds me, Volkes filter.

I see Chocky has made front cover of Flying scale models, nice one mate

Nice to see they have acknowledged two production Legends, Essex Warbirds and Wessex Warbirds, one month after the other.

Psssst its all British you know...none of those funny accents and white stars around here.
Many many thanks editors, pints all round at Cosford.

Inspired by Gregg Veasey I thought I would show what i have been up to the last two weeks.
PR Spitfire number two is almost complete.
Pictures show self adhesive alclad foil applied to wing roots ready to weather through the paint.

[Mike Booth]

Nearly done and with full invasion stripes this time.
