Here is a kit which almost didn't get finished. However, thanks to the efforts of our community members, it now sits on the display shelf, and has a well-deserved outing on Aeroscale's front page.

Wow! What a great looking Spitfire. Your extra work and patience payed off with the camo paint job. Excellent photos also. Very nicely done.

Magnus,
Thank you. The Feature article is the podium to winning the battle, which did have its major issues. As you know, there was a time when it looked like I would loose the war.
