That is real nice work. I have built many a spitfire but never a Eduards kit   And the camouflage looks very good

That is super sharp. Looks like you're in the home stretch..

Fitted the final wing panels which can only go on after the engine. One side has a gap...

Out with the Miliput, sanding stick and a little paint...

Fixed the small(ish) gap.

Onto the gunsight before I close up the cockpit. I have a Eduard Brassin cockpit set I am seaving for another bubbletop Spit (maybe invest in one of the new EduArt kits announced today!)

Luckily, this Brassin set comes with two choices of lovely resin gun-sight. Time to appropriate one I think..

Very cool! Despite dropping the engine great recovery there, looking good all out there for show.
