After the long Roland build I wanted to do something quick and easy. Saw a review for this not too long ago and it happened to coincide with an Amazon gift card I couldn't decide what to do with. 1st 1/72 Eduard Spitfire for me and the build and part layout was almost exactly the same as the Mk. VIII I did not too long ago, Including the things that bugged me like the upper engine cowl being 2 part and a seam that has to be fixed and loose the extremely fine detail molded into the surface. Still and all it builds up to a nice little Spit. Got this far a just a few days. Never painted invasion stripes so I'll see how that goes.   |

Thanks Joel. If the hurricane remnants hit NJ like they say I may get 'er done this weekend. Peeled all the tape last night, one of my favorite milestones in a build, and was very happy to see only some minor touch up to be done with the stripes.   |

Great looking model. You could've neglected to mention the problems with the invasion stripes and I never would have known. Really nice weathering, too.

A sharp looking build Marc. Ya need to have at least one aircraft in the case with invasion stripes. I wouldn't worry too much about the stripes. A lot were painted quickly and by hand.

Very nicely done Marc. One of these quick builds sometimes makes it easier to plow through a larger scale very intense build. Paint and weathering turned out great.

Thanks Marc. With your production rate you know a thing or two about 1 week builds |
