Thought you'd like to know I finally finished my Spitfire which was supposed to be part of a group build started a year ago. Hope you like it. (See pix in my gallery).

Thanks for your kind words. The only things scratchbuilt are the harness and buckles, made from lead foil. (Also the rudder pedals which were not molded properly, but they can't been seen anyway).

I didn't want the demarcation between the camo too fuzzy, as I think on most RAF colour schemes, the line was pretty sharp. However, I went for a "slightly soft edge" which as you perceptively noticed, was achieved with Blutac. (I just love that moment when the masking is removed, don't you?!)
