    Very nice Ian. The 3d-kits stuff is excellent. I see they are going to put out a Fuel tank for a Spitfire IILR soon, and some Hurricane bits.

    What did you think of the Tamiya kit? Easy to put together, but a bit "off" in shape was my conclusion.

    I would agree. The fit & detail are superb but the wing & nose seem a bit strange. I can't put my finger on it though.
