Thanks Vaughan, it was an enjoyable kit to build and I was trying hard not to go mad with the staining.....

Thanks for your kind comments

Youve made a great job of that. Tamiya kits are really nice to build arent they? .I'm currently building their 1/48 P47D Myself.

Looking good!

I have one of these on a brass rod "flying" above my desk at work

That's a lovely Spit Stuart, the paintwork & weathering are excellent & really bring out the details. How about some close-up shots?

Thanks so much everyone, reading comments like this makes me really get the bug back

Richy I couldnt fault this kit except the fit of the wing tips. There and the underside rear wing joint were the only places I used filler, and it was probably due to my own cack-handedness lol

Thanks once again
