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.

Thanks!

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

It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are won by troops which have a strong will for victory, clear goals before them, high moral standards, and devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.

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.

After followed up your build it's great to see the Spit finally top finished on the front page! You really deserved it!
