Thanks Dennis. Yeah, it's the most eye-catching model I've built - I've parked it next to the Mark I Airfix 1/24th Spitfire I built many years ago and it's amazing how far things have changed, kit wise, in that time!

Nice job,  do like the comparison to the little fella, it’s a big difference in size.

 

Thank you Dugy. Yeah, I wanted to try and how the sheer bulk of the 1/24th version.

Here she is with the Eduard 1/48 scale version of the same aircraft I made a few years ago!

Overall, a really lovely kit to build.

 

I've got a few more and will try and improve - I want to use the 1ManArmy paint masks rather than decals.

 

I'm not entirely happy with the colours, even though I used the exact Humbrol colours as per the instructions! The green doesn't look quite right to my eye.

 

I'll use the MRP or Tamiya versions next time - they look better I think.

 

But am I happy with it, as a mediocre modeler, yes I am!

 

 

Great job!  Love it!

Now I want to do this Airfix kit too.
