    Completed Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire.

    Hi folks another great kit from Tamiya highly recommended. Nice kit with good details and fitted really well. But I had a lot of problems with it all of my own making to be honest. I was getting scared to pick it up at one stage. To kind of put into prospective for those that knew him I'd liken it to giving Frank Spencer a pot of glue and some paints. I'm so happy that I've just laid down that last decal so I can put it on a shelf never to be touched again. Anyway here she is and I hope you like her.

          A Frank Spencer building moment - ohhh, Frank. Yes I'm old enough.
          I don't know about your troubles, but the end result looks great. A splendid Spitfire indeed.

                    Brilliant finish on that one, Frank erm - John :thumb2: :thumb2::thumb2:
                    The dio base - was it home made? It looks the part.

                    Teddy and I will pop round & give a hand with the next one!!
