Still raining and had to do the best I could with the camera. Hope they will do.

They'll do just fine David. Great job on that one!
Great work Dave!
See if you can adjust the position of the undercarriage though, should be raked forward.
Thanks guys.
Had trouble getting her to sit right. Now I look at it again maybe I have got the legs on the wrong sides? They are not glued so will check when I get home from work.adjust the position of the undercarriage though, should be raked forward

Yep, was thinking that too Dave. (You'll need to switch the gear doors when you switch legs too!)

Undoubtedly the main landing gear has been attached inversely. But there shouldn't be any problem with correction of it. Anyway the model looks very nice.

Yes it does some nice paint going on there.

Very nice Spitfire. Good job!
Nice finished David, fix the wheels and she will be just fine.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

"We got our own ammunition. It's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes pretty pictures. It scares the hell out of people. We got a loudspeaker.
When we go into battle, we play music very loud. It kind of... calms us down."
Good work!
