So the first kit i try for several decades was of course a Spitfire. I chose the Help For Heroes one that comes with paint etc.
My lack of experience shows on this one and I made some HUGE mistakes such as using Humbrol spray varnish on enamel paint which of course reacted and bubbled up so had to be stripped and repainted.

The base is a simple piece of card painted green with some filler shaped to look like wheel ruts.
I made a much better base for the Tamiya Spitfire
