Well normally she puts everything straight in her mouth, but she didn't do that with the plane. Maybe there is hope!

Nope, it's a 5 piece kit i bought for 2€ and painted up to be a spitfire (as it said on the box) . It resembles a spitfire a little bit  ;D

I just bought it to go with a SCW pilot model i got from someone when i was considering pulp games.

Nope, manufacturer got that wrong then. Greater curve should be at the back.

Yup that's why i painted it and put it aside  ;D


I looked at adjusting the wings, but if you look at the underside of a spitfire, you can see that the landing gear is in front of the intakes. On the model i have that part is correct, so if i would have switched the wings, then the whole underside would have been wrong and had to be changed too. By that time i had my microwings spitfire and just didn't bother anymore  ;D

For 2€ it wasn't worth rescuing anyway, and the pulp project ended with just 1 model painted, the fighter pilot  ;D

The cute phase only lasts until the Terrible Two Year Old's kicks in.
