Nige,

Love it; the colouring and weathering are top draw. Makes me want to have a go at aircraft.
All the best.

Hi Nige, is that the old 1/48 Spit? I seem to remember having the kit in the dim and distant past when it first came out. I think at the time it was a promo deal on a box top collection (possibly Kellog's Cornflakes) and I had it and the Me-109 :)
