Well, here she is!

Just before I closed the fuselage, I took this picture with MH434 in 1/48 for size.


RAF Interior Green interior with Aluminium aft fuselage. Cockpit detailed with various MM and Gunze shades, I used the "Spitfire - A Living Legend" by Jeremy Flack as my main guide.

Cockpit is crap, especially the seat, but it goes together very well.

On the engine, avoid the vinyl thingies at all cost, ditch them somewhere far away.

Is that the Airfix 1:24 Mk I ?

It's quite a beast. I've still got that on my "to-do" list...
