What Stik said! I think I like the full elliptical wings better than those with the squared off tips. Looks more "Spitfir-ery" to me.

Got this one in the stash. Might see about slotting it in after the 110.

Thank you all.

I've progressed quite well over the past few days.

Looking very good there Daz! What brand of paints are you using there?

Looking good Baz. One question, in one pic the wheel wells are green, later on they are sky. Did you accidentely paint them? Or do you use some kind of super thin masking?

Thank you! I'm using Lifecolor for the uppersurfaces and Humbrol for the undersurfaces.

And I accidentally painted them the wrong colour.

Almost finished! ;)
Daz, is the aircraft code the correct size? Looks a little bit large for this small fuselage. Just wondering.
