First Eduard kit for me. It will be an out-of-box build with no extras and the simplest paint scheme of the provided ones.

Following along. I've yet to breach my first Eduard Kit too, so a journey of discovery 😄

Follow the construction with great interest. 👀 Still have the Royal Class in my inventory. I wish you success 👍

I don't have this plane in my collection yet. I have to choose Eduard or Airfix, so I'm watching closely!

Following too. As many, I have Eduard's and Az Spitfires in my stash 🙂

Thank you all for the interest. So far I really like the build and construction quality.

Small update: finished assembly and painting of the cockpit. So far, a real joy to build this one. Near flawless fit, some parts just snap together and wouldn't even need to be glued. Only issue so far are the decals, the carrier film is so comically oversized that I had to cut them into shape. Otherwise they are really good and with a bit of Mark Softer conform perfectly even to such bumpy surfaces like the instrument panel.

And she's finished. In all it was a real fun build.
The many stencils turned into a bit of a chore and I'm not too happy with the way the propeller assembly is attached. That is, not at all, just plopped into the hole at the front and that's it. Result is that it is flopping around a bit and easily falls out when the plane is moved around. Maybe it is supposed to be glued in but I prefer the propellers in my builds to be rotatable.
Other than that a really nice kit and I'm quite happy with the result.
