Some moodily lit shots of my remaining @hicksy.bsky.social paras - thought I'd better properly finish these off before moving onto the dastardly germans. Tomorrow - it's all the highlighting and detailing of these lovely chaps.

Thank you. It’s a mk21 by Special Hobby. It’s got a RR Griffon engine with a Contraprop as well. It does share the high back like the mkIX.

Paint done and decals are going on nicely. Looking rather pretty at the moment. Not sure she’ll look as pretty when the contraprop goes on😬. All painted in Vallejo Metals. #scalehistory #spitfire #scaleaircraft

Cleaned the glass and dusted the finished model collection. 35 completed. In 2026 I want to fill the gaps in the Spitfire collection to have all the RAF marks in miniature. Need a mkXVIII, XXI and 24. All in the stash. #spitfire #scalemodels
