Here's the model now on the bench and work beginning. I've started by removing and cleaning up all the parts that will be painted in bare metal. these have now gone off for a wash as well. Next more parts have been removed from the sprues and cleaned up. Some ejector pin marks are evident especially on the undercarriage doors so they are all being filled. I'm also spending a good amount of time on the engines ensuring everything fits nicely.

I don’t think I have ever seen you do a plane.
Great start, though.

Lovely start.
I've looked at my big spitfire and the instrument panel has got individual decals for each dial unbelievable

This kit is so cool and with the camo scheme you're going with it can't go wrong. Colourful markings too.

Not seen that scheme before Pete, I'm looking forward to seeing it on the airframe. Very nice progress too. IP looks great.
