Thanks!

Hi there, just read through the build and would love to see the finished model but all the photos have been deleted, thanks photobucket, any chance you can repost some directly to here?
Thanks.

Hi Mate
the only photos I have now are for the finished model. This model I finished in July 2013, and one thing that I didn't like on it is the panel lines. They are too dark.
I've since have changed to a more subtle dirty look on the panel lines.
Here they are:

Thanks for reading it.
Cheers
Paulo

Being so long since you finished I wasn't sure I'd get to see it! Thanks very much, this was one of the first kits I built as a boy. My results were nothing compared to yours! I could tell that it was impressing the other guys which is why I wanted to see it. Great job, I'll be looking out for more of your builds!
Thanks again.
Alan.

That really looks great!
Of course there's no such thing as a bad looking Spitfire.

I'm still looking at it! Are these old pics or have you managed to keep her safe and sound?

These are the original old photos but I still have this kit safe and sound like in the photos.
