Stuart's Spitfire mk.I***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.

You're still going for the odd roundel scheme then?

Yeah - I was going to change it but I didn't have anything else in the decal stash. Now that it's actually on the model it doesn't look as bad as the drawing - it certainly shows the chaotic nature of the early markings!

It does look a little (dare I say) odd, but it'll grow on I expect :grin:

Really good finish, and interesting to see the difference the two bladed prop makes visually!
