Hey fellow modellers.
While I've been chipping away at my shelf queen backlog I've started building a spitfire XVI from pieces left over from a couple different kits. This is meant largely to be a fun/quick(ish) contest warm up. I painted up the cockpit yesterday. I'm not to worried about this having an uber interior paint job; I believe the XVI's were pressurized and had no side access door, so not much of the cockpit will be visible when the fuselage is closed. I used the kit decal for the IP - I'm not really happy with it - I think I could have painted a nicer one. On the plus side however the decal was WAY faster than my painting the IP.
Thanks for looking. Comments always welcome.
