  1. $2.50?! Just got me a Stuka and Hurricane at retail (20% off at Toyworld!) and they worked out to be about the same as any of the auctions that I could find, when freight is added into the equation...

    By the way, jolly nice Spit there Dave.

  6. Nice build and paint job

    Still getting used to a Spitfire in American markings, but pilots soon learn anthing that contained an element of red in it was "shot at" by Allied gunners

  8. Hi Geordie, I think the Stars do look a little odd on a Spit as well. Reverse lend lease at its best eh?

  9. Just when I feel like building a 1/72 kit I have to face this sort of intimidation! Please tell Dave to try and lower his standards bit to give the rest of us a fighting chance. As far as the Spit is concerned, it looks good in any markings!

  10. I know Tim, this geezer really takes the cake sometimes. Just when I think I am improving on my skills I check the inbox and there is a bunch of photos with something better.

    Practice makes perfect I am told.

    Regards Paul, who by the way would never add US marking to a Spitfire.
