Shazzam!!!! 

You're a right wizard of a builder, Martin. Just an excellent Spit, a total A++++ start to finish. I really enjoy your detailed posts and photos, much to be learned by following your WIP reports. Thank you very much indeed, for your many efforts.

Thats a really nice Spit. Nice seeing the WIPs too. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful Spitfire. I love the weathering that you have there. I have too many Spits in the stash already or I likely would get this kit.

A splendiferous rendition of a majestic iconic aircraft, very well executed old chap!

I dig.....very impressive oil work.

I love this build! The painting/weathering work you do is outrageously good.

So much to learn, so little time.

Wow, she turned out fantastic!!! I'm going to have to pull out an old kit and try your oil techniques myself. 

That turned out really nice. It looks well used. Great job.

What color do you use on your tires?  I really like they way they came out.  Mine are always too black and look fake.

Martin the time & effort you put in with the layers of paint and weathering really paid off. Very nicely done Sir!

Excellent build and weathering job.  There is only one very slight error which everyone does, is that the escape crowbar on the door is unpainted on the WW2 versions.  Postwar it was painted red.  WW2 US aircraft have the same kind of error that everybody does.  The fire extinguishers are not red, but are brass or bronze.

Thanks for the review, Martin. I have been on the fence with this kit, mainly because I really don't need another Spitfire (I've built five and still have two in the stash), but I don't have a Vb Trop, and I don't have one by an English kitmaker, which seems like some sort of blasphemy.

I really do love the scheme you did, and I love that Airfix has a dropped elevators option, as they almost always sat that way on the ground.
