Finally Got One

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:26 pm

Well guys I finally got my DWK Spit. It only took me forever and a day to get one but finally its in my hands and its a beauty. I've seen all of the 21st Century Spitfire releases and I will say its the best of the whole bunch. The detail and paint job is excellent and it ranks right up there with my BBI Corsair as my 2 most favorite 1/18th fighter planes. That is until the Hellcat comes out next year.

I can see why Roy like this version so much. I'm going to make a few small mods to it and thats it.

But thumbs up to 21st on the DWK Spit. Its a winner and a keeper.

Glad you like the 21c Spitfire! I've been thinking of picking up the DWK, 610 Sq. version just for the sake of getting a repaint, but have been pretty happy with my NKK 118 Sq variant. I totally agree that the 21c Spitfire is one of their better aircraft and it truly captures the look of that classic fighter!

I just received my very own DWK this afternoon, 02Nov06, and will include three pix of the bird in the box....completed DWK could make an appearance this weekend. As you will see, photography is not what I make a living at

....but enjoy any way!

With my experience with UPS I can say they never deliver early, not at least to me anyway. So you might have to wait.
