Spitfire Mk V

This is a Tamiya Spitfire, mk Vb. I picked this one up some time last year, and got around to finishing it sometime this year.
If you've never built a Tamiya kit, I highly suggest you do so. I've been building them for about 10 years now, and they are superior in fit and finish to any other kits I've ever done.

The decals cracked a little when getting dullcoat. I was a bit surprised, since it was about 10 months between them going on and getting sprayed. Maybe that was it. Either way, I'm still pretty happy with the results.
Hope you enjoy!

Great work! I hope your P-40 comes out that good.

Thanks, so do I :lol:
Allthough, the P-40 is just an older Monogram kit, and the fit isn't nearly as good. I've puttied what I could, and hopefully paintjob can overcome the rest.
