Thank you very much. I'm taking it to our Ipms meeting and I think they are going to faint. First time I brought something other than a car.

Very nice looking Spitfire.  Well done.  Which version is this one?

WWII warbirds are far and away my favorites. I briefly entertained the idea of learning to fly, just so I could (hopefully) fly one. Then I found out how expensive they are to purchase, and to maintain. Decided it would be cheaper to visit a few airshows and build R/C versions.

I have a few models that I have squirreled away that I will eventually get to.

Well with my very limited experience with air craft this is a mk 5 version. Although the decals are for a mk9 version. I tore the tamiya decals so a aircraft friend of mine gave me a aftermarket set. Not really accurate but for me it was more of a paint experience and decal experience. Tried washes and weathering. It just about killled me to put a wash and weather a good paint job. I'm going to try another one soon. Thank you for the great comments

Oh wow, that's a beauty!  Very convincing weathering.
