Great looking cockpit, Dan! I plan on doing an ASR in 1/72 too, watching with great interest...

Cockpit is nice, just wish I had done some seat belts now. Airfix miss that on their kits. At least a decal would be nice. Will have to source some Spitfire PE ones.

I used an Eduard Spitfire zoom set on mine, I think it was for the Tamiya kit, but worked just fine. I think it was like 7.95 US$.
