-Exito (printed by Cartograf) 'Sweet Fourteens' decals - amazing!
-CMK resin pilot
-Whip aerial made from a toothbrush bristle
-Montex masks
-Tamiya, Model Air acrylics
-Finished with oils and Tamiya weathering pigments

That's a very nice looking Spit.
I know it is sacrilege but I prefer the look of the Griffon powered Spits over the Merlin ones. /runs away/
