Fantastic piece of plastic art. Finish and weathering look amazing very subtle and not overdone. Thanks for sharing the journey

Fantastic work!  I love your weathering.  Any chance you were inspired to build this because of the movie from last year?  I did a Dunkirk Spitfire last year because of the movie (Revell's old 1/32 kit, and mine didn't look as good as your's).

Another inspirational build. You've done the subject justice.  Amazing.

Excellent! Smooth camouflage and beautifully weathered!

Outstanding interior detail, painting and weathering.

Simply gorgeous exterior finish.

Overall the finished model looks like it could start the engine and fly.

The port tire is too shiny on the bottom. . (I just had to find something  - of course I realize it's the way the sensor picked up the light and not a really "shiny" tire)

Another beauty, Joe.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Is it frustrating to be so good you can't get any better? 

Thanks guys...your all very kind.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I believe the person I built it for was inspired by it though.  I prefer Battle Britain Spits eventhough they look the same........lol.  

^It was a good movie.  Your Spit looks awesome.  Great weathering.  I like the subdued nature of the camouflage due to weathering.  

Impressive as usual. Thanks for sharing.

'Your usual fantastic work!' 

As always, excellent finish!  Your builds are superb.

Your friend, Toshi

What an outstanding model.....seriously.  And a lovely diorama.

I'd have probably gone with a grass strip...but hey...this is YOUR story - not mine.....so my opinion on that is truly irrelevant.

Thanks for the great pics of a stunningly beautiful model, mate!  I'm going to have a look for those masks you wrote about.

Thanks again!!!  Awesome.

Thanks for the kind words Lee.  Actually, my bases aren't kit specific.  I have a handful I keep in a drawer for photography purposes.  Just to give the models a sense of scale.  Same with the pilots.  That pilot is actually German as I currently have no British ones on hand....lol.    

Looks fantastic! Did you watch "Guy Martin's Spitfire" on Netflix? About the reconstruction of a Spitfire crashed during Dunkirk. I can't remember the pilot's name, but he survived the crash and was later captured, might be the same guy that you reference.
