After two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Biggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Model Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

I have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.

Really nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Great build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?

Thanks all…
The nose wheel appears elevated because I use a sheet of glass on my bench. The glass is 1/4" thickness.

Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

Thanks Munky, I wouldn't be so hard on yourself you did a bang up job on yours! Glad your enjoying the build and I hope the final outcome comes off like I hope!

Hey Mr D
They have been easy to print and super quick to detach from the backing compared to official decals. Interesting to play with but a note to the wise, figure the decals you want and their placement as transparent decals will only be visible on light colours. See my body art for an example!
You then have the issue of how to get round this, which I have yet to decide the best method. Thinking maybe a top coat then a second run through the printer!
Both white and transparent paper are hard to adhere to bumps on the surface without creating bubbles, think this might be A: thickness B:my poor application (more likely 😅).
I need to find some junk kits to do some proper testing before I next use them on a project I think 🤔

Thanks Edouard 👍👍
Good luck with it, sometimes double printing can off-set a little so make sure paper 100% straight.

Know that for a fact, worked as a printers assistant for a time and adding gold elements required a method of double printing, was a nightmare 🤣
