Outstanding especially as it's taken you comparatively little time to complete. Great finish
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

A hearty well done David.

Nice work - great result. Good to see the Spit in a different colour scheme.

Beautiful stuff. Does look odd without a roundel and code letters down the side though!.
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

Re: Lancfan's Civil spitfire ** FINISHED **
Thanks Daren, Toby, Jeff, despondman, Mark, VV, despite being a limited run kit the detail and fit of parts was second to non and the model din't need any rectification so it almost built itself. The decals needed a quick coat of varnish to ensure they held together but that did not hold up the build.

I've just remembered that I have a spare "Indian head" marking in the spares box, so my camouflaged version of NH188 is looking like a good idea....!
