I have this conversion too. Looks good, but haven't opened the package yet. Watching your build!

I am swithering between doing this and an Empire Flying School example with an interesting colour scheme, also available from 3D Models. Will let you know what I finally decide!

I did get the conversion set & am finally getting around to building it, using the Daily Mail Airfix Mk 1a set as a base. I'll be making 152 Sqn's UM-D "Counter Attack" so I can use my spare Rotol prop & spinner.

Thanks Gordon, much appreciated. It was a nice, enjoyable build. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy building Spitfires (and early Hurricanes, of course.)
