This kit I built many years ago. It was build OOB with slight modifications (added details to undercarriage, wingtip radar anthenas, photogun, seatbelts). Original VERY thick canopy was replaced with new home-made. I made it from acetate foil using original canopy as mould.

Kit was painted using Revell enamels applied with sponge, canopy frames were decal stripes. Decals were partly from box, code letters were spare Spitfire codes repainted red, serial numbers were dry transfers. Weathering is done with pastel chalks. 

Happy modelling
