Very nice
Can't go wrong with a Griffon powered spit eh? Something about that 5 bladed prop just does it for me, not as good as the Merlin though (he says reassuring all the Merlin Spit Fanboys

). If only there was a Merlin spit with a 5 bladed prop...........
Great job there mate! Awesome model! How was the kit? Any fit issues or bad seam lines?

Thank you! I too prefer the Griffon engined Spits as they sound and look meaner. It was a lovely kit to build. No fit issues or nasty seams. I will be building another in the New Year which will have all the after market I can throw at it. I might even do another as an FR.XIVe.

I like that, Darren.

Looks considerably more refined than their 1/72 kit.

Thank you gents. It's a lot better then their 1/72 offering. As I mentioned I will be building a lot more 1/48 ones.
