More parts cleaned up on the Spitfire tonight. Amazed at the amouunt og parts and detsil on the cockpit. Just a few things letft yp do then time for primer. I am curious if the 31st FG ever used the 30 gallon belly square tank that comes in the kit kit ? Also trying to find a the proper 1/32 USAF pilot for the kit in resin if anyone knows ?

Some more progress on the spitfire tonght . 43 parts later and the wing is assembled . Took a few hours but 47 parts latet and the Rools Royce engine is built . The detail on the engine is very detailed. Also assemled the firewall and engine mount. Stilla few more things left and time for primer. Going to build this model with the engine displayed with panels left off
