Spitfire LFMk.IXc, ML135, flown by Jerry Billing, No. 401 Squadron, Tangmere AB, June 7, 1944 Finished today to clear the decks for the Korean War GB. Lovely kit, with no real vices other than the roundels being wrong, and a little transparent. Fixed the roundels by making some masks and spraying them - in hindsight I should have sprayed the other roundels too. Painted with the Tamiya Acrylics. Work in Progress is available  here Peter

I'm calling this one done, mainly due to being sick of having to patch the Alclad polished aluminium. Why that particular shade causes so many problems is a bit of a mystery. Apart from the Alclad this was a fun kit, only minor issue being the fillet to cover the space for the second seat which needed a little filling, and me putting the nose on upside down at first   Build thread is available  here Peter
