Ah, here it is just after most of the masking was removed (canopy is still masked). I have some detail painting to do and of course the U/C but it's getting there and I might just finish it in time.

Lord Timster aka Da Pinkish Dude

This looked very nice. the yellow nose BF is always one of my favourite. your building skill and painting skill of non-pinkish objects is once again evident here.

Good work.

That looks very sharp!

Really neat masking. Are you going to weather her? Once the detail work's done, she'll really come to life!

With the major work behind you, there should be no sweat getting her ready in time.

All the best

Nice one Twistedfate, can't wait to see it finished. All these 109s being built makes me want to go out and buy a couple more spitfire kits just to even things out

:-) Looking good Tim, I see my Hurricane will be outnumbered, just like in the real battle. Will still kick ass though :-)

Don't worry, Mal. This particular bird was actually shot down in the Battle of Britain.

Well, technically it's on the records as a forced landing. It's back was broken on a sand dune near Calais. Sounds like a little more crash than landing to me.
