Finally got to taking the final pictures of this one. Ibex 1/48 scale kit, Two Bob's decals, and a few added touches here and there, a few additions to the cockpit, and the wing mounted pitot tubes supplied in the kit were way too big, so made replacements from Albion Alloys micro tube. Model Master Gloss Sea Blue paint overall. This is a limited run type kit, and while quite nice, does take a little extra work on the fit in places and cleaning up the smaller parts. Still a fun build though and it turned out pretty nice in the end I think.

I also tend to screw things up a lot. Still, I don't let that stop me.
