  1. Very nice Spit indeed, congratulations and thanks for posting!

  2. That's a Super Spit, Paul! Well done! Tamiya certainly makes a nice kit and you've sure done YOUR part and made it into a wonderful model.

  3. Never tire of seeing a well done spit...nice build.

  4. beautiful spitfire - nice work!

  5. Very clean, very pretty, very well done.

  6. Looks really neat! I wondered what colour you'd used on the u/s areas - is it agrey colour or perhaps the pic hasn't reproduced it faithfully? A friend is planning on making the same a/c but I don't think the Tamiya kit includes the QVoK or the serial number so I also wondered where these came from. Paul.

    • Than you, I think it's the sunlight on the colour. It's standard RAF sky colour.
      Decals came from an friend who had the Aeromaster sheet. THere are some after market decal sheets for QVoK. 🙂

  7. Looks great - nice subtle weathering. Well done.

  8. A beautiful rendition of a super scheme, great job!

  9. Your hope has been achieved - me like!

  10. Great looking Spitfire
