That's a beauty, Eddie.  I really like the way it turned out. The idea, the construction and the finish are all top notch.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

....It would appear that the inboard machine guns on the wing have to be synchronized with the propellor, as they are within the arc. The next machine-gun out seems barely beyond the propellor arc.  Since there is additional firepower in the nose, perhaps you could do with 3 guns per wing, eliminating the synchronizing gear for the inner gun.

I truly love that camo job.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

You got me! I didn't see it till you said something. Those are truely weapons of last resort. See, there's a little box in the cockpit with a trigger in it that says, "In case of emergency only!" ;) I'll probably just plugg'em and paint over them. Sharp eye!

Most views are impressive, but... one hurts me: the view of the underside, marvelous, completely changed and rebuilt, not old Spitfire at all anymore, I would have been completely unable to do that myself. Eddie, you are too good, oh so good, making me feel like a new born child, disabled... Lord, what if I had such abilities?

SUPERB EDDIE! Truly magnificent! Wow.....great work! She's turned out very nicely, and quite convincing to my mind. Immaculate paintjob, too!

BTW has anyone welcomed back Christophe?  :cheers: :drink: :party:

This is truly a wonder to behold, Eddie! Not only have you managed to pull off some of the slickest kitbashing I've ever seen, but you also come up with a camo scheme that would have the Desert Air Force drooling!

Definitely one of my favorite Miller Miracles!
