This is 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk1a with the markings of RAuxAF No 602 City of Glasgow Squadron at Drem- East Lothian, Scotland. This MkI K9955 was flown by pilot officer Archie McKellar in March 1940.
Note the one of the earliest examples of nose art and kill marks on a RAF fighter. Also note the antenna mast and the sheet metal “L” shaped blinkers on the cowling.
I decided to
build McKellar s aircraft when I got “Fündekals” Spitfire Mk1 decal set.
