Martin's Seafire Ib *finished* & PRs IV & XI *finished*

Honoring Edgar Brooks, a Spitfire researcher and contributor to many modelling forums, we have the Every Mark of Spitfire GB -- in which at least one of each will be built, not in a free-for-all, but to a "plan".
The GB runs from 27 Feb 2016 to 10 April and your host are Martin R and Sir T.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Thanks, all. The PRXI has had most of the fiddly bits added and it o ly remains to paint the prop tips. Then finish the Seafire and complete the PRIV. What could possibly go wrong . . . ?

Thanks, chaps!

Here's where I got to with the MkIV. Seams look good, white has been touched up and the first coat of PRU Blue has been added:

And here it is against what it should look like:
