Quick update
I'm still plodding away with this and getting near the end. I've started decalling and relished with a little dismay that the decal on the side ( black jaguar do not match with the mark ( artists eh ) I believe the leaping black panther in the xtradecal set is correct though.
I had to trim the two tail flashes by a couple of mm to fit the tail but again I think this is due to the fin flash being for a MkViii Spit with the larger tail ??
I have the stencilling still to do and also the A/c registry details ( that's going to take some time ( there are 2 sets of registry a on the Spitfire I believed
PS890. And also F-AZJS ( the second ID can be seen under the tail plane
I have also started painting the cockpit canopy ( once painted and tidied will coat with Klear . Painted the nav lights too.
I also art tacked the U/C and prop ( lots of tiny deals to go on there too )
Enjoy and comments welcome

That's looking very good Robert. I just love the 5 bladed prop on a Spitfire.
