Very nice work.  Amazing how many really high quality Spitfire builds we have going on simultaneously.

Cheers John, and you're not wrong!

I seem to have spent an inordinate amount of time detail painting in the cockpit and fuselage halves!

 

..and I haven't even started placing the (literally) 92 decals in there yet either!

 

The joys of perfectionism, eh?

 

Anyway, onto a few quick photos I took:

Nice progress - you'll be a decal expert by the end of this!

Thanks Pete, and you're not wrong!

And it’s the usual conundrum Rich of an inordinate amount of time detailing what remains largely unseen! Is there a middle way?

Sure is:

   If it's going to be or likely to be noticeable, it probably goes in;

   If not, it definitely doesn't.

 

But that's me, you do you.  This is coming along nicely Richard, there's some great work there.

92 decals in the cockpit, this would make me run for the hills, but when I do build one I will probably give it a go.
