Morning!
Just stuck the exhaust stacks in and thought I would share a few photos of 'the last' Spitfire.
This is the Airfix 1/48 scale kit of the last Spitfire in active service in the RAF. Another good one from Airfix. Their new tool kits are a whole new ball game. If they continue like this, they will be great. A few small mould seams to shave off but the fit was very good. The ony parts that could of fitted a bit better was the camera port glasses. I ended up with three totally fudged ones, and made some more from a bit of clear plastic card.
Its painted with Xtracylix PRU Blue and Sea Grey. Spinner is White ensign sky blue. finished with Vallejo Satin varnish. (no with spot this time either LOL).
Here are the photos, I hope they pass muster, and as normal comments welcome.

I think it looks rather handsome in this scheme.
