Thank you guys! The last ones of the cockpit painted aren't so good, but the flash didnt help! Soon I'll post some more pictures of the landing gears pit.

I did the same kit not too long ago. But I did NOT do the detailing you have! Great job! Which nose art are you going to do?

Thanks. My decals sheet offers the possibility to represent "Sad man" or "Pink Spitfire".I'll probably choose "Sad man".

Yes, the intakes are awful on this kit. It took me a lot of sanding and filling to get them OK. Also, LifeColor makes the desert pink color so you don't have to try mixing your own.

thank you all for the comments!
I'm using Xtracrilix Desert Pink , by Hannants. They have a full range of colors for british aircraft and I find them very accurate.Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Thinking about getting this kit, and came across your build... progress looks fantastic... curious to know how it all turned out???

Geoff, its not a great kit. I did this one as well. Just be prepared for some ill fitting parts. And 100% get the Masters nose pitot. The kit one is grossly out of scale.

And yes, I am curious also as to how this came out!

Thanks Donald - between the Airfix/Heller/Revell kit and the KittyHawk... which is the lesser of the two evils?

Geoff, I havent done the KH, but Id say that one. The KH kits I have done are NOT as horrid as people say they are. IF you can find one for a reasonable price.

I built the KH Jag, and it went together well and turned out really nice. I also built the Heller one, and have the old ESCI kit. It has raised panel lines so I will have to re-scribe it.

Clifford, this one isn't mine. LOL I linked mine a couple comments up.
