Hi chaps,

Just finished the Revell 1/32 Mk 24 Spitfire. It had some build problems and is a bit basic but it looks nice and cost £15.

The seat harness is made from tin foil and solder. Engine plumbing from wire and solder. I also had to scratch the gunsight (none in kit) though it can't really be seen. I also cut the moulded ailerons and flaps out and reset them.

Criticism and comments welcome.

Nothing to say but beautiful work. That is the Griffon engined Spitfire isn't it? What colors did you use? Again, great work. Russell
