Saw this GB and thought I would jump in. I am doing a Spitfire MK. VC of the Royal Australian Airforce. My choice of A/C is Clive "Killer" Caldwell's Spitfire which he was flying out of Strauss Airfield, Australia in June, 1943. Caldwell was Australia's leading Ace of WW2.

Cockpit work. The kit comes with a PE set which includes the IP, harness and armour plate.

Nicely primed, David @totalize
The Hispanos do look really good.

Thanks John!

Thanks Lis. There was no headrest in Caldwell's Spit. Instructions said do not add this part.

Me too! but Spits in general.

G’day David (@totalize),

This is a great start.

I built two Eduard Mk VIIIs a couple of years ago (you can see them on this site) and they were so much fun I bought another pair off a friend and have the Mk I, Mk II and Mk Vb/c dual combos in the stash.

I also started a Special Hobby Mk Vc at the same time as the Mk VIIIs but messd up the cockpit and the rear cockpit/fuselage is too wide. I will get it done one day…

So, enjoy the build and I look forward to seeing it completed.

I’m sure it will be supurb, going by the P-38 you posted a while back.

Nicely primed and great looking guns, my friend @totalize!
David D. said 7 months ago:

Thanks Michael, Great to see another Spitfire fan take a look at my build. It is certainly much appreciated.
I hope I can do this one justice.

Thank you Spiros. I really appreciate your comments.
