This is looking good.

The next step is going to really test your mettle as a modeller.

Is going to look awesome when done.

There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching ones maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence and a rejection of mediocrity

Nice camo.  You're masking worked great.

I thought you'd put the grey paint on a bit thick, then realised it was blutack.

Looks super.
Is it straight from the box apart from the scheme? Why not put it into the nationals Competition?
I've a SFTB Spitfire in Biggles colours going in, and probably a Crusader Hurricane too.
