[The Chaos]

My Buld for the RAF Centenary Group Build
the God old Airfix Kit,
it is in the detailing very basic.
my first steps.


the Cockpit is sporadic in the detailing also have a Pilot.

Does the pilot get airsick very easily? He's looking a bit green! 

On a more serious note - is that the pilot figure that came with the model? He just looks a bit modern?

BoB Memorial Flight example?

There was a mixup, the Spitfire pilot ended up in Sea Harrier FRS.1 kit which came out around the same time.

I do wonder why the Mk.IX was less detailed than the Mk.I that came out earlier?

Looking forward to seeing how you whiff it.

Update.
The Paintig and decaling ist compledet,
the Airfix decals are very dificult to apply and it is not perfect, I hate decaling on Aircrafts.

Nice  And, yes, the Airfix decals are a PITA. But: did you mount the main landing gear in reverse? The stance looks quite odd?

Looks like it, they're leaning rearwards and they should lean forwards.

But that colour scheme looks terrific.

I wondered the same also ....but didn't want to be the first to say anything!

Nice subtle difference.

Well, if we're being picky (& I'm not, really, it's just an observation), the fuselage band decal has also been placed on backwards, as evidenced by the underside photo.

Overall, though, it's an excellent build & the scheme is brilliant, & a couple of extra whiffy touches make not a skerrick of difference.

yes it is right, i have glued the landing gear wrong in place.

Right it is a What If    and thanks for the feedback
