Thanks chaps 8) I'm very pleased with how it turned out, and it's a cracking kit for the money. I hope the rest of Airfix's new tooling releases come up to the same standard.
Thanks guys! The Swedish scheme was what actually made me buy the kit - I like doing something a bit different wherever I can, and there are scores, if not hundreds of Spit kits in RAF colours in all sorts of scales. Which is a shame when you consider how widely used the Spit was. I already have my eye on Turkish, Italian and USAAF versions to join this one on the shelf 8)
Very possibly I'm just starting to delve into the world of aftermarket decals, and I already have a good 30 models to build after half an hour browsing Hannants I think the next order may well be a sheet of decals and kits to match - I've just seen a Portugese Spitfire/Hurricane combo sheet, plus a Costa Rican P-51D which seems very appealing ... it seems the more obsucure they are, the more likely I am to want to finish them 8)
