Well here it is the one all the racing aircraft fans have been waiting for since I promised one two Spitfires ago.
As it stands the kit was a Planet Models resin kit, and the first go at an all resin kit for me. also an other first. Vac formed canopies. How much fun are they?
A tip to others, mask and maybe paint the thing before cutting them out. it makes it 100 time easier.
The Decals are by Life Like and are actually for the mkXVI but the fit was actually OK.
Main airframe is done with Alclad II dark alu and the engine covers with their polished alu.
Hope you like it and comments are welcome.

And I have not made the doors for the tail wheel yet, I am going on the idea that I can nick some from another kit later.
