Thank you, chaps!

I've got the Spit to a good state now; just need to do the canopy framing, some weathering and matt varnishing, then some final small bits and she's done. I'd like to replace the canopy, but it'd merely show up the paucity of detail in the cockpit. Still, it's slightly better finished than the last one I built - probably in the '70s. I have fond memories of this kit; it was a revelation compared to the old tool Airfix JE-J.







regards,

Martin

Don't weather it. Just do the canopy. It looks great as it is.

Very nice Spitfire. I am a big fan of the wiggly camo, use it all the time.

Lovely Martin, that is a great looking Spit!

[Martin R]

Thank you, chaps. Apart from perhaps putting some colour on the nav lights, I'm calling the Spit done!





regards,

Martin
