That's an absolutely stunning finish, Carl!

You've chosen a magnificent color scheme to compliment those iconic RAF roundels.

Most excellently well done sir!

Well look what the cat dragged in tonight. Why does it 4 months to build a kit which should be done in less than 4 weeks? User problem?

I hot knifed the cannon and gun shell ejection ports ports. Decals from a sheet of black lines, Pavla Spitfire PR.IV set, Academy Spitfire,  and a Sky Models Hurricane sheet. A semigloss finish to reduce that nasty drag. 

It's done. Thanks for waiting.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

You've definitely got an artist's eye and it shows in your choice of colors!

What a magnificent finish! You could fool many with this beauty!
