     The idea is to show it as it appeared May 24 1940 on the sand bar

   

             Lather, rinse, repeat.

 Maru, Peter Cazenove bellied the spitfire on a sand bar off the beach of Calais, May 24th 1940.

  Maru, also you can make out the Phare de Walde light tower in the distance by the prop blade.

    Will add a HB spit to the recipe. The Hasegawa spit is in front, with the Hobby Boss behind.

    Hasegawa gives us a early and late windshield, and a flat and blown hood, cool!

   the HB bulkhead fits good, will have to remove the bottom to fit the engine mount.

I like what I see Art, though to paraphrase one of your sig. quotes "I am confused and don't understand the situation!". Can't get a handle on exactly what/how you're planning the model. :)
