I like everything but the canopy, but that's not any fault of yours, of course.

I like the colors most. :D

you can replicate the gun port tape with ...tape. Cut little squares and paste them on with a touch of super glue. Then paint them red. 

Thats the method I used. ;)

Very nice. I have an Airfix 1/48 on it's way. But the specialist Spitfire version.

This is the first kit I built when I returned to the hobby. Well done. Thanks for sharing...

Your Spit turned out really well! Love the camo scheme. My advice for the Ju88....Beware the fuselage halves. I had to do the hot water trick and glue it together in "sections"...back to front....and STILL had to sand and putty the crap out of it. But an excellent model to practice on. I had a lot of fun doing mine. Would show pictures...if I figured out how. And the purists would hate me....took some liberties with it. Good luck!Wink

Just a quick update, my youngest daughter is in the hospital and has been for a little over 3 weeks. I've been here with her except for last weekend. I was able to start on the ju88 but haven't got much done. I have been trying to check on the forums and will continue to try.

May a speedy miracle find you and yours safe and well.
