Outstanding, Mike!

But there was that other 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire you had a hand in...

Thanks fellas! Your comments are very much appreciated. Yes It was my first 1/32 Tamiya kit, and it's easy to see why they get such rave reviews. It was a joy to build. Smile

Same from me, Mike, a real beauty. The Spit was a natural for the metal finish, graceful as it was. Thanks.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Hey fellas. It's been a while since I posted, but the the bench has still been a very busy place. This is the latest off the bench, and what a joy it was to build. Pretty much OOB except for a few AM goodies from BarracudaCast and Lifelike roundels & stencils. The main paint is Alclad II's. The yellow band and unit codes were painted & masked. The engine is also OOB with a few scratchbuilt details added. I hope you enjoy looking at 'er as much as I enjoyed building 'er. Thanks for looking!
