Excellent Pete, you should be rightly chuffed with the big Spit. Terrific build, and super paint finish and weathering … Top job 
Got the AK Ocean Grey down as the top base coat …
RAF dark green tomorrow once the masked canopy goes on

Excellent, my congrats! 
Ooo! I might just make that, John 
That is one good looking Spit, Pete. I especially like how your figure turned out. The sheepskin looks dead on.
Many thanks Erik. Yeah he turned out ok. Pleased with the build of this kit. For a Revell kit it is very good. No major issues and went together well.
Would recommend this kit.

Got the RAF dark green down.
Messed up a bit when I put the play doh cam mask on, I think I should have probably another 10 %green on the wings,… Bit miffed but I am not remasking and spraying again… It is what it is. Once the decals are on, hopefully that will hide a fair bit of the grey.
Canopy mask is still on, it was self made with Tamiya 3 and 2mm tape.
There are still some bits of play doh on the surface, but I will lift those tomorrow night, they come off easy.

Thanks Erik, and of course once the wash goes on, that will dirty it up a bit as well

Oh how I laughed with joy when I started to unmask the canopy to find …
I had stupidly left a length of 2mm Tamiya tape on the inside … 
… Of course I didn’t swear or weep tears of frustration…
This is why we love modelling… Right ??

Can you pop the sliding hood off, remove the tape, then re attach the hood?
