Spitfire LF-XVI "high back" - **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.

Looking good Daz, I agree the second green you used looks much better, the other green looks more like the colour they used on Japanese a/c.

Looking back on the photo of the parts, is that a standing pilot they give you? If so is he any good?

He's a little basic, but yeah, he comes with it.

Nice one Daren! Will the pilot be putting in an appearance?
Best wishes

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

Cheers, PT.

I've got a few dozen built, so it might not be too difficult to achieve! :-D

Well, I try!

I don't think mine are anywhere near as good as some examples I've seen in this GB, but I like them! ;-)
