I’ve done that with a few kits that offer such an option… works great! :hmm:

Re: Medic's Airfix 1/48 P-51D Mustang and Spitfire Mk Vb

Since I enjoyed the Mustang so much, this one worked it's way onto the bench and was painted with the markers as well. But all was not fun. The Spitfire was not nearly as easy of a build. It fought me especially the cockpit and the nose parts.

Nice!

Yeah, the cockpit on the new Spit's can be a real pig! Looks good though Mike, as does the P-51. Really interested to see markers being used this way.

I know right? It was a momentary lapse of reason.
