1/32 Hasegawa Spitfire Vb

Hi folks,

I'd like to show you my recently completed Spitfire if I may?  This is the venerable Hasegawa 1/32nd scale kit built entirely out of the box (except for the paint of course).

This took me back to a time when modelling was always fun. I apologise to the Spitfire purists but I chose not to get carried away with research or additional detail on this model so that I could concentrate on the assembly, painting and decalling.  I used the kit decals for the roundels and codes but found that I was getting some silvering so decided to leave most of the stencil data off.

This was a very enjoyable endeavour.  It has been quite some time since I built a model straight out of the box, but I don't think it will be too long before I attempt another one.
