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.
