    That's looking good, it's certainly a different kit to the one I built when I was about 12 (No pics as the box brownie wasn't even invented then) that kit had about 8 parts if I remember correctly.

      Self-inflicted nose area blemish corrected and the intake ring partially polished. Next up is the blue spine/tail and black canopy/nose area.

            Looking lovely Joe, never ceases to amaze me how beautiful this bird is, every bit as iconic as the Spitfire, Hunter and Mosquito. I think I'm a gonna have to build another one...

                A few touch ups to the metallic paint but otherwise it's coming along nicely now.

                        Small update. She's on her feet, some panels have been shaded and highlighted.

                        It's stencil decals next. Not been looking forward to that task...
