I'm getting better. This build took only 10 months.











It is painted in Greek Air Force markings after being refurbished post RAF service. Ferry drop tanks are installed for the delivery flight.

Decals are from Tigerhead 72002 Greek Spitfires. They did not want to settle down on the Tamiya lacquer. Needed lots of Microsol.

Yeaaaah! LOVE it!  :wub:

Right up my street, that, and it looks so damn plausible too. Greek markings are a nice touch, not something you see very often.  :thumbsup: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Very elegant.  Good job.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
