Nice, a portrait of yourself and a photo of the plane. Were the wheels part of the kit or did yee get them elsewhere? |

They're included and are very lightweight but they are a bitch to paint because they aren't molded with a ridge as I would want to go by. I used a circle template and a few hours on them. I would have used the Guillow wheels for their Spit but they are too large. I did order the plastic pieces for the exhaust stacks and noticed on Matt's Spitfire (SWEET) that they are in three's instead of the six called for. The plans suggest using drinking straws so it will be 3. |

Excellent work!! This photo reminds me of the 2/13/60 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, Norman Rockwell's: "Triple Self Portrait". |

NICE! You got the underside dressed yet?
I think on the Spits, the earlier Marks had 3 ports per stack and later ones had six. |

Looks fabulous, not a little bit rough. Have you ever thought of weathering one of your models, or do you prefer to keep them 'factory fresh'? |

The bottom is not done yet. I like the look of weathering but I prefer to keep mine clean. |
