go figure!
That was the intention go figure!
.I actually used a build of the Tamiya 1/72 Spitfire I from a Fine Scale Modeler Battle of Britain Special as a guide to knocking together the Airfix versions. It was a fairly quick build (for me) as I wanted to give it to a friend as a surprise. he was delighted with it.
Latest bit of resin casting - 1/144 Saturn S-IVB stage thrust structure
Amazing how much a lump of resin and a few BBs can do to improve a kit - mine on the left, Airfix kit item on the right
The raw casting
And trial fitted into the stage - note that this one is a Saturn V one, with 8 helium spheres - the S-IVB-200 used on the Saturn 1B only had one as the stage wasn't required to restart in flight.
As with my earlier 1st and 2nd stage bits, I'll be advertising my spare ones on ebay

Eric, your wing roots needed a bit more attention.
Looks like some carefully applied paint chipping/weathering along the wing root to me
