1:32 Scale Revell Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1

This is my very first aircraft scale model which i had built during the 1990s. It is the 1:32 scale model Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1 from Revell. The kit number is 4555. It is made in USA.

It is one of my favorite aircraft from the world war two era. I painted this totally using paint brushes with minimal weathering. This kit is a precise replica of the aircraft. It elegantly portrayed the aircraft that gained immortality in the skies over Great Britain.

The kit has some fanciful features as follows:

1. The panels for the Rolls-Royce engine compartment is removable, so you will be able to see the details of the engine.


2. The kit also features hinged rudders, ailerons and elevators.


3. The canopy can also be opened to reveal a detailed cockpit.


4. The wheels are retractable

The decals provided are for an actual Spifire aircraft that was flown by the British ace Flt. Lt. A.L. Deere.

I spent some time painting the camoflage patterns using paintbrushes with Testors Modelmaster Enamel. The main color used are:

• FS 34096 Olive Green


• FS 33105 Light Brown


• FS 34554 Light Green

Here is the top view of the scale model:

The Spitfire, one of the symbolic heroes of the Battle of Britain together with the Hawker Hurricane. I had fun building this magnificent aircraft and knowing a bit about its history.

1:58 Scale Tomy Key Chain Tomica

This is the second piece of the Tomy Key Chain Tomica in my possession. This is in 1:58 Scale and the die-cast model is a Mitsubishi Lancer sports car Evolution IV. This is quite an old model as the real Evolution IV was launched in 1996. As per my previous posting about the 1:62 Scale Tomy Keychain Tomica, the quality of this scale model is also top-notch. It is a very nice series yet again from Tomy Takara.

Now regarding the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the latest Evolution X had already went on sale in Japan on the 1st of October 2007. It is yet another fine car made by a world class manufacturer. Take a look at the latest series here in this gallery.

1:62 Scale Tomy Key Chain Tomica

This is one of the Key Chain Tomica by the Japanese Company, Takara Tomy. It is a 1:62 scale die-cast police car model with key chain.

I think it is pretty hard to find it nowadays. It is unopen and still new in the box. If you have any car collection like this, please let me know. This police car is painted in Black with the interior in Red. It is not a detailed scale model but the quality is top-notch.

Takara Tomy is a company with a very long history. They have been creating high-quality toys for so long and selling them around the world. In my opinion, they are one of the very best toy company in the world. You can check out more information about Tomy here.
