not much bench time this week ..... we have my 9 year old granddaughter here during her school Christmas break.
 
decided to try and add the leather seat back cushion from Milliput. I think it will look good under paint plus the HGW belts hanging down over the cushion.
I also sanded the armor plate for behind the seat to a thinner profile.

I have to say I really like the bigger scale !!!
The seat is just pushed into place for the pictures.
 
I also have the HGW seatbelts which I have never used before (learning curve)
 

 

 

 

 
 

This is what Airfix have to say on the matter. 
 
I did read something the other day about it, I'll check my internet history and try to find the page.

I am in with a 1/24th Airfix Spitfire Mk.IXc
 
I am using the Xtradecal X24004 which depicts MJ586 'LO.D' from 602 Sqn, based at B.11, Longues, France in July 1944.
 
For extra bits:
    Airscale Cockpit Set
    Eduard Cockpit Detail Set (select pieces)
    Eduard Flap Set (not sure I'll be using this yet)
    Xtradecal for the markings
    1ManArmy Stencils
    Montex Masks (I want to try painting the roundels)
    Barracuda 5 Spoke Wheels
    Barracuda Control Stick
 
Will post a few pics.

Delivered !!  Holy crap it's a huge box

Delivered !!  Holy crap it's a huge box

Thanks Juggernaut ! Using your logic of.... I want a Dambuster....it's on sale, and best price seen (for sure on that), I ordered one myself.
Now hopefully I can build it within the next 5 years !!!!
 
Hopefully I can slide it by the wife... that's gonna be tricky as I have a 1/16 M10 Achilles and a 1/16 Korean Sherman coming from Andy's HHQ this week as well !!!!!
