    Yep, that camouflage is very sharp, those blue tack rolls worked better than my one time experience with them. Guess I’ll need to improve my ability to use them, because you certainly master them Allan.

    Thanks Pedro, keep trying, like everything, practice makes perfect or closer to it ! ----------- the first coat of Polly-scale foliage green is a little thin in places so will need a little touch up !

    The word "awesome" is something that is thrown around on a regular basis, but right now it's a perfect description of your Spitfire Allan... @kalamazoo

    There are always two things I can see that tell me a model was built by you:

    First off is a crystal clear canopy. Second is a flawless paint job. Your models always have both ! This is what sets your builds apart from others.

    Looking good my friend, looking really good ...
