Hi Marudek. I know the buckles are not square. It was my first attempt at scratchbuilding them out of lead foil - it ain't easy

If I can, I'll trim it, but as it's superglued on, it might just have to stay.

Thanks for your kind words about the Il-2; I am rather proud of it as it was the first model for which I used an airbrush. Also the fit was poor and it had almost no decent panels lines - so it took a lot of work.

The red chequerboard? Oh yes, Polish squadron - and what great work they did! This Spitfire will also be Polish from Squadron 145 serving in North Africa; pilot Lt Horbaczewski.

I hope it comes up to your expectations. See you soon mate.
