This model is also built by my friend, [the Mustang and Dornier], it is the Tamiya 48 scale, the harness that is fitted to the seat is made from a wine bottle top, an idea that I passed on to him, along with the ammo boxes, when this was first being built, he would like your comments please. The photo is in my gallery.

Hi Rob

She's a real beauty! :-) Great job on the weathering... what technique did your mate use?

Keep up the pressure to get him to join the Big-A! :-)

All the best

:-) I'm interested in how the weathering was done as well
Remember, you just can't have to many Spitfires :-) (I have 3 on the go :-) )
