Just wanted to add what a great job you did on that Spitfire! Really enjoyed looking at it? I assume it is 1/48 scale? Russell

Thank you Russell and Damian!! Russell, the kit was Tamiya's in 1/48 scale. Looking forward to their 1/32 kit which is getting great praise...but not a big fan of the scale.

Nicely done Sir. Daughters one and two are buying me the new 1/32 MkIX version for crimbo despite the fact that "mum will go mad when you disappear to build it".
