Looks just great to me. In your opinion, is this kit much of an improvement over the old Revell/Hasegawa hybrid?

Great paintjob David, indeed very natural. Only bit I would nitpick about is the large patch of aluminium at the wing root (a bit to big to my taste).

Terrific job. Now I should finish mine.

 

Thanks a bunch. I would say go for it. I hope you can finish yours sooner than I did mine.

Thank you all. Your comments are much appreciated.

Wouter. Thanks for the feedback. Point taken. Some pictures of Spits show minimal bare aluminum wear at the port ring root but I found after looking at tons of pictures that even some of the spits with minimal weathering had large amounts of bare aluminum wear on the port side. So, I guess I could have gone either way on this one but chose the heavy wearing path. Just a matter of personal taste I guess. :)
