Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk I, Converted to K5054 Prototype
By Max Williams
Mitchell's finest, perhaps as she was on 5 March 1936.
K5054, the Spitfire prototype.
The Kotare kit was a pleasure to use and the Paragon conversion kindly donated by Dennis an absolute essential.
My thanks to Tim Perry for the R J Mitchell figure.
I know that AI isn’t for everybody but personally I love playing with it and putting my models into context.
I have had a yen to do K5054 for years. I’m glad I finally knuckled down to it and the result is OK, I think.
