Thanks Gents! I have to say asides from that blooming armoured windscreen I'm pretty pleased with it.

Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire mk.Ia - which I finished this morning. Just some taster shots for now, I'll see if I get some better ones over the next few days.

Great finish in your Spit Stuart! I’m sure that John would approve.
