Yeah, well... This has been dragging on and of for two years now, which is ridiculous for a 1/48 kit. It turns out that coming back to modelling is easier said then done. Nevertheless, I did a bit of work on this Spitfire and can upload some pics that I took along the way.

In the mean time Tamiya's new Mk I came out that is far better then this Airfix kit. Here's a great comparison between the two britmodeller.com/for..ki-comparison-build/

Also, I'm not that hot on the yellow nose any more. Maybe I'll do the markings for AR212 but leave the yellow out, but right now I'm thinking about trying out masking and painting the markings for some late MkIa.

Since I got into making my own paint masks with a plotter, now I'm free to make my own markings. I've chosen MT-P code letters from No. 122 Sqn, depicting the plane serial no P9500 in June 1941 at RAF Turnhouse.
