Airfix 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.22 A02033

Airfix new Spitfire F Mk 22 is a little gem. Everything fits perfectly and it is easily built. Cockpit has just enough detail for the scale and panel lines is a bit finer than on previous new releases from Airfix. The only thing to watch out for is not to damage the very brittle cockpit hood when removing it from the sprue. I managed to destroy one hood but lucky for me, the kit comes with two different hoods. I think this is the most beautiful of Spitfire marks and I am pleased to be able to add it to my collection of ww2 fighters. The colors used are Tamiya XF 81, 82 and 83. As usual, I forgot to paint the tail wheel! :-)
