Jon_a_its - I agree, but I was told (or I read somewhere - don't remember now) that it should be "Spitfire XII" (without Mk) or simply "Mk XII" (when you don't use the name Spitfire) - at least for the erarlier version

Thank you - this was the first Griffon-powered Spitfire in my collection  and now I'm preparing two Mk XIV from Academy. Next will be the PR XIX.

Nice work, but 'normal' RAF nomenclature would be Mk XII (or Mk12 for post war stuff)

Ohhhh very nice work there! Of course I can't say much bad about a late-model Spit!

I've finished her at last - quite a nice built, without fit problems.

Serials and code letters painted from masks, Eduard harness added, beside this - OOB.
