Really like this one dude
Nice spitfire.
The only thing I would have done is given a more dusty finish with the weathering as its a tropical variant. That's just my preference though.

That is an unusual paint scheme for the Spit'. I knew the RAF had some American pilots flying them but I didn't know that the USAF had evaluated them. I like the degree of weathering that you have, it suits the model. Is this 1/72? If it is, it is a superb quality paint job
As a minor point, on your future kits it may be an idea to lay out sub-assemblies and decals on the instruction sheet before final assembly.

I really like this camo. When you get used to your airbrush you could put a little bit of exhaust back wash on her just a tinny bit. Not a criticism just an excuse to experiment

You really got the camo right though. And try pigments if you get a chance can give great earth/dust/sand effects that really come in useful.

looks absolutely super and well detailed, i would be chuffed with that, and the box art is nowhere near as good as the model..
