OK. Going to the finish line.

Some beauty shots....
I never get tired of building these. The fit of parts is generally good, and the model practically falls together to make a nice, handsome late-model Merlin Spit. No wonder it's my favourite!

That's excellent work. Really good finish to it
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Good looking model Daren, and I agree with you over Aqua paints- they are my paint of choice.

Daz, sorry I missed this one. She is a beaut, great build.
I have used a couple of the Aqua acrylics & been very impresses. Will have to try the metallic colours

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
