This is my first aircraft build in modern times not counting an aborted attempt half a year ago when I had just returned to scale modeling.
I hope I can follow this one through.
I'm happy with the cockpit but could have been better if I hadn't rushed it.

Great start! 👍🏻
I returned to the hobby myself last year after being in model kit hibernation for 30 years.
Looking forward to see the final result!

Thanks J35J and Guy Rump! Also congratulations to returning to the hobby J35J. Only problem with scale modeling is that it is so addictive 😅

Thanks Thomas and Alberto! It was my first try at soft borders camouflage without masking. Worked better than I expected but I used the wrong scheme, A instead of B. Hope it won't hurt the eyes of Spitfire experts too much.

It looks very good to me. I have not tried yet a free hand camo without masking! 😬

Thanks Michael! So far so good. I have some light weathering left to do and landing gear and propeller. If I can avoid any last minute disasters I think I will be happy with my first Spitfire🙂

Great looking Spit.
You can turn the pictures under "Manage" -> "Advanced Options" on top of your album. 😉

Spitfire is finished 🙂
I'm happy with everything except the canopy fogging.

Thanks guys! This was a maximum effort for me and I'm afraid coming builds will be downhill.
I'm very glad I had it in me to complete this though. When I first looked at the tutorial video about a year ago which is labelled "for beginners " I thought I could never do it.
