Kotare Spitfire Mk.Ia "Brian Lane"

Jim J
Back to 1/32 scale for this Spitfire Mk.Ia "Brian Lane". The plan is to build it completely OOB with no aftermarket. After reading the instructions three times, I think this kit has all the detail needed to make an excellent rendition. So far my assessment is that Kotare did a great job with this kit and I give it an A+ for build experience so far. Just starting the cockpit and I'll post regular updates.

The main and detail painting in the cockpit is mostly complete. Here are some photos of the current progress. Next is a gloss coat and decals. Thanks for looking.

A big Spit should turn into a special model in your hands. I am in for sure.

Jim J
Thanks Michael. The cockpit is now complete. Next step is to button up the fuselage. Thanks for looking.
