Airfix PR.XIX Twin Build

 Having decided to build all the 1/72 Airfix Spitfires that he could lay his hands on, Dave has just emailed me the latest examples.
 The PR.XIX was Griffon powered and having picked up one kit, Dave was lucky enough to get another donated to him by Chintz. Nice one Phil.
 Sweden used these from 1949 until 1955, and had 50 or so airframes delivered.
 Dave started brush painting these but he said it was a bit of a mess, so he went back to using a airbrush.
 Dave also complained about the Mirco-Sol he uses for the decals. The solution seems to have given up the ghost in the heat of the Summer, hence the shiny look.
A nice tandem build all the same. Great work Dave.
