Here it is! Overall I'm pleased, and it's nice to have a Spitfire in the collection, finally! I am not happy with how the cowling area fit, but am happy with the pastel exhaust staining, first time I've tried that. Ended up having to take artistic license with the starboard code letters, so they seem a tad jammed, but I've seen photos of planes that look like that, so who knows. Anyhow, here you go:

That is one mighty fine looking spitfire Cory. The maple leaf really sets it apart.

Well done Cory.

Great job Cory by the way did the pilot survive on the bail out.

[Catch22]

Thanks guys. I was waiting for someone to comment on that. To be honest when it came to the pilot I just wanted to move on.

Really nice, Cory. I like the gear up idea. I think my next build will be gear up (unless it's a floatplane).

Looks great! I was unaware that the mapleleaf was used on that style insignia, very cool!
