Awesome build Swanny!
When I think of decent deals in models, the ICM 1/48 Spitfire kits are usually the first thing into my mind.
I picked one up for a little over 20 dollars Canadian a few years back, it was sitting beside a 1/48 Spit by Tamiya that was more than double the cost of the ICM kit.
I saw that same Tamiya kit out of the box not long after and I relaized what a deal I got; I spent lless than half the maoney and got nearly twice the detail!
Thats not slamming the Tamiya Spit, it was a beauty of a kit too. Just pushing home the virtues of shopping around a bit.
