Love the look of these blue aircraft, and as its a fairly new tool it should build up well.
Ive added some aftermarket to it, wheels exhaust and a great cockpit set.
Other than that it'll be built out the box in the two tone blue colours, i have the xtracrylix pru blue for it too
Started of with the cockpit adding some of the aftermarket resin parts
First step to the cockpit
And after a while i got this lot built, much better improvement over the kit parts, even through the foot pedals fell to bits and i had to glue them (badly) to repair them. I drilled out the lightning holes too, need to dig out my spitfire references tomorrow

A bit of a big jump in the build as I've been plugging away at it.
Progress on the PR Spitfire, masked and airbrushed in the medium sea grey, sadly i cant continue till i get some white and black Xtracrylix point to darken and lighten for pre shading and panel fading, a note to everyone xtracrylix don't like to be mixed with other paints lol
Hoping to get back to it in a few days when paint arrives.
As usual Akan and xtracrylix spray perfectly with Ultimate thinner

Bit of a jump in this build as to its all now finished.
Ive faded the paintwork with paint effects, fading bleaching and post shading and then i gave it a Ultimate wash and oil dot faded the paintwork as i would with armour.
