Scale:1/48
Accessories: none
ok here's my second entry for the Aces build.
Airfix's Spitfire MkVa W3185 Douglas Bader 616 Sqdn.
my research has found that Dogsbody is likely to have only flown W3185 on three occastions including the day he was shot down 9th august 1941 possibly by Buck Casson his own Sqdn 616

Cheers Dogsbody but despite the box art you get the correct bits in the box
