I have been looking forward to this build for quite a while. You may have noticed that I am a complete Spitphile and back in the 80's I built K5054, the prototype Spit and this will represent if not the "last" one, at least the most developed. These were introduced very late in the war and did see service but in a very limited fashion. The schemes I have are post-war commanders' aircraft and I am probably going to do an overall silver that will contrast with the typical camo.
Thanks

A very quick look at the plastic shows good detail and not an overly complex build. I'll go into this more as I start glueing.
I'd like to introduce two potential builds for the far future GB's. We have Mustang and Spitfire, how about Me 109 A-Z and then..... Zeros for Heros.
Decided to add a Landrover to this build. I don't know if this aircraft lasted until LR was used but I'm not going to waste a $3 kit when the times lines are "close enough".
