Very nice mk.19 that - Great work.
I built it a few years back - It's a great kit!

Gorgeous Spitfire! Way to go!
And yes, keep posting both works in progress as well as finished models. You work is a thrill to look at.

And a very nice build it is too!
I love that background and base - it makes for a really nice photo.

In a German board I am working on a F-51. I am not allowed to show it here, because it is part of a competition.
Nevertheless I have 2 more Mustangs on my workbench, since years to be honest. Currently I am preparing them as test for coloring in natural metal finish.
One is the totaly wrong in shape variant by Academy.

Looking great. I love the photo background and base too. I've been wanting to set something like that up myself; I just never got around to it.
Academy Mustang is a great choice for a paint mule. Looking good.

Nice and shiny now! Do you've to thin that Vallejo metallic, or can it be airbrushed just fine "as is"?
