This one was a labour of love I can tell you. Nothing really seemed to fit together without a fight and lots of filling in the big interfaces. Also despite doing a nice job (I thought anyway) on the engine in the end realised that I would have to remove bits off it and enclose it permanently or else the panels wouldn't fit on. Turns out this is a known issue with the kit, ho hum.
Still, I'm pleased with the results despite a couple of dodgy bits of painting (don't look too closely at that stripe on the spinner!) and learned a lot (again!) on this one. Used some excellent aftermarket decals too because the in box ones were poor to say the least...
Light was fading when I took the pics so may take some better ones but in the meantime hope you like it! Has anyone else on here built any Spitfires? They seem quite popular... :laughing:
