Really nice to see this Sptifire in Norwegian colours. A couple of newbie questions: was there a reason you left off the rudder and horizontal tail surfaces until after painting and decalling the rest? Is this 1/72 or 1/48?

Ooops sorry, forgot to mention; its a 1/72 scale hasegawa spit.
No reason for the left off the rudder and horizontal tail surfaces. Just old habbit.
Sometime during airbrushing I got some build up of paint between fuselage and horizontal surfaces. But that was mostly because of bad handling of my airbrush.
