Whilst shopping the other day in my local hobby shop I came across this interesting find.  I knew straight off I simply had to have it. Paying my twelve dollars and not dickering a dollar less, I rushed to my car and drove willy nilly home to get a good start before sunset and bedtime.  By the following evening I had my little Spitfire completed and photographed for all your enjoyment.  Built straight from the box and without the use of instructions or adult supervision.  Airbrush painted using Floquil, Xtracolor, and ModelMaster enamels.  Yes, those are the kit decals and oddly enough, apply better then many supplied in Hasegawa kittings.  Total time to build and paint, about 8 hours. Hours of enjoyment thumbing my nose at purists.......endless.
