Hans, that is a wonderful model, really professionally built and finished, and I like the historical information as well. Not sure what you mean by 'injected' though?
Sorry that should have been called "airbrush".
'm not a great translation!
That's one of the best Spitfires I've seen ,well done.
N.
That makes me happy...
simply gorgeous...i read "the big show" when i was about 12 in 1964...he was a little arrogant but what a great read...now you need his tempest
The book is called "The Great Arena"
as you said a picture is worth 1,000 words

That's really excellent, one of the best models from the PCM kit I have seen.
This kit took a bit of tact!
Yes, that's a great looking Spitfire, and an interesting backstory as well. Thanks!
