    Spitfire Vb Trop (early) Overtrees kit. Will use Lifelike Decals to do Neville Duke's final Spitfire Vb in 92 Squadron, Spring 1943.

    Nice start, Tom @tcinla
    Still looking for a decent early Spitfire kit, so I'm interested to see how this one develops.

    @johnb - You cannot go wrong with an Eduard kit of whatever variety of Spitfire they do that you want.

    Thanks Tom @tcinla.
    November 27th there will be the ESM (Euro Scale Modelling) fair in the Netherlands, will definitely look for a great kit there.

    Looks great, Tom (@tcinla). Looking forward to seeing the paint and markings. Using Overtrees really helps cut down the cost on a well-made kit.

    Great paintwork on this one as well, Tom @tcinla
    To me this bottom side blue has always looked a bit 'weird' to be a camouflage color.

    Decals applied. One nice thing about doing North African airplanes is the Aboukir depot, where they got their new paint jobs, didn't re-apply stencils; often didn't re-apply serial numbers.

    Coming along very nicely, Tom. I like your approach to weathering, it looks appropriately beaten up by sun and sand. Decals went on beautifully.
