The paint did indeed lay down nicely, John

This one is hurtling towards the finish line. The kit decals are bad. Stiff, matte, and don’t want to leave the backing paper. This is the only negative about this kit. I’m now remembering that they were also poor on the Seafire XVII, which was released at the same time. Thankfully, Victory Models “Aces of the Empire” sheet had just what I needed. If you like Spitfires, this decal set is worth getting. I’ll finish this in the next few days and post it on the main page.

Wow, Tom. You guys certainly put together a nice package. I was at that Nats, in fact the only one I ever attended. My Chicago home is very close to the Rosemont convention center. My then teenage son got to meet Francis Gabreski at that event. Great memories. I just realized that I didn’t build a Spitfire during 2020. I usually do at least one per year. To make up for that, I think I’ll use this sheet to do the Gleed Vb with Aboukir filter before 31 December!

That looks to become a great finish, John @j-healy
The camouflage looks great.

Off to a great finish, my friend @j-healy!
You've nailed the camo perfectly!

Well done, my friend @j-healy. What a nice ride! I am off to the maim page.
