The old Airfix kit finished as a post-war Spanish a/c. I rescribed it, added a bunch of cockpit detail and replaced the interplane struts.

Outstanding Mike. Any chance on your next build you could put up a thread of your progress as I would really be interested, as would others, to learn from your techniques in achieving such amazing results.

Thanks so much for the kind comments; I'm also looking for another one of these kits, so if anyone's got a spare languishing in the stash, I'd be interested...
