Paint done and decals are going on nicely. Looking rather pretty at the moment. Not sure she’ll look as pretty when the contraprop goes on😬. All painted in Vallejo Metals. #scalehistory #spitfire #scaleaircraft

Cleaned the glass and dusted the finished model collection. 35 completed. In 2026 I want to fill the gaps in the Spitfire collection to have all the RAF marks in miniature. Need a mkXVIII, XXI and 24. All in the stash. #spitfire #scalemodels
