Thanks Rick, Guy, Alexis and Stephen! Glad you like them. I too quite like the outcome of both models. They're still not the perfect model, so I guess I'll have to keep building in search of it. Maybe the  Copper State Models Armstrong Whitworth F.K. 8 that Guy mentioned?!

Two of the most beautiful 1/48 Spitfires I've ever seen Fredrik. You can very proud of these, I hope Eduard release a Hurricane too. I have this double Eduard boxing and the new Tamiya in my stash. My intention was to build them last Summer for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Like you I had many difficulties with the pandemic and stopped modelling until recently.

 A beautiful pair of models Fredrik. Spitfires always draw my attention and these are certainly no exceptions, you've done a very nice job on both and the quality of the finish on both is truly outstanding. Your weathering, highlighting, and panel work is really impressive!
Cheers,
Lance

Very nice Spits! Great paintjob and superb weathering. Also the rescue of the ruined cocade is very good.
Bye,

Thank you for your very kind words, Richie, Lance, Gary and Manni! They are much appreciated!

Richie - a Hurricane would be marvelous! Fingers crossed for that!

Cheers
Fredrik
