1/48 Airfix Spitfire

This is an Airfix kit (48th scale) which I picked up at my favourite model shop in Glasgow.

The kit went together well, and I am pleased with the result, despite being slightly unhappy with the finish on the acrylic paint (I am more used to using enamel).  I did have some help with research via the ARC discussion group to paint the pilot accurately.  Anyway, I felt that the South African Air Force markings were unusual enough to be of interest to the ARC'ers . 

Hope you all like it.
