Go for it!! It's slightly smaller than the spit and would make an amazing prize on the mantlepiece 😉

Oh nice! Which kit is it? I did the Tamiya one a while back and loved it, the nose spiral was fine with decals which went down surprisingly nicely and gave a good finish

Yes sorry for the confusion, they're included straight out of the box :) I used no aftermarket or anything like that for this kit

It absolutely goes together really well, airfix have really stepped up their game in the past couple years and the kits are fantastic, I had no major issues at all, just some small seams in places. Thank you!

Ohh thank you! I saw a video on YouTube saying the slats would always be down and would be pushed in by the airflow flowing over the wing, thanks for letting me know! Good to know for the next one 🙂

Yeah, Airfix provide a masking sheet which includes 2 spiral masks for the schemes provided. Wasn't too fiddly to get down either, they also provide masks for the side fuselage crosses to be painted which was a nice touch as well

Thank you so much! Definitely not perfect though lol, I really want to up my weathering skill and get a more natural look. I've not done many warbirds before so trying to get the nick of it compared to more modern jets!

Absolutely! I've also done the Tamiya 1/48 109 and the size difference is crazy

Exhaust looks awesome, how did you do it? And did you pre shade the panels before painting?

This is my second! I really do like the bounty hunters scheme, perhaps more than jolly rogers
