Okay chaps, here's your choice from my poll.  The parts:  Resin exhausts and wheels  Pre-painted PE  Clear bits, the canopy has taken a bit damage. But with a tad polishing and clear it should still be ok  Stickers, not sure which version to make yet. Maybe another poll is needed  .  I shall be going for A, C or E The A version is the black Spit of Ezer Weizman. Probably the best known Israeli Spitfire, which is now preserved in airworthy condition in Hatzerim. The C version is an airshow demonstration aircraft. This was flown by Karel Posta DFC, the colour is silver with blue or red lightning flashes. The E version is an aircraft from the 107th squadron "Tajeset". This is also silver with blue markings, and possibly my favorite.    Anyway we're off to a start already, not much, but a start is a start   More as and when Sires  |

Front and center, Paul.  I'm torn between A and E.  Um... There's not a yellow version?  |

I think black is cool . Silver paint jobs are a hassle for me .

Cheers chapsters . As Carl pointed out I know silver can be a pain, which is one reason I wanna go that way  . It'll give me a little practice at it  . And Steve's point about the Spit not needing flashes is also too true . So the E version it shall be , back soon fellows with a small UD hopefully |

And so the Die is cast. I like your choice, Dude. For what it's worth. I did the mini Mig With this.  Over the primer. Buffed and then cleared. Didn't come out to bad I thought.  Hope that helps. |

Jeff I haven't got any of that , but I might have some soon . Todays slow goings, I had some PE fun and some clear parts fun too  . Here's a better pic of the PE parts  I then had some fun folding this piece of PE .  It then looks like this  4 part Steering column with a tiny piece of PE .  Office chair  Office in place   This certainly isn't a Tamiya shake n bake, but the level of detail in here is well worth the effort. You need time and patience for it, but it is a great kit up till now |
