I had a spare spitfire I from the Eduard "the few" boxing. I did the early version a while ago. What to do with the other one (and one with a damaged wing due a glue spill)? I didn't want another Mk I, so a rummage through the spares box(s) reveled a Mk IILR conversion (Pavla I think) with the asymmetric fuel tank. A trawl of the web showed that the codes included with the kit with a bit of modification (plus bits from said spares box(s)) would do for one of the relatively few LR versions that were produced (or at least close enough for my satisfaction). I scratched the undercarriage raising/lowering unit (whatever its called) as only the manual version is included in this boxing. Apart from that, a fairly straight forward build. The Eduard decals are the new ones that the varnish can be removed, so being a masochist, I did. Good old humbrol 29 for the dark earth and colourcoats for the rest. Now having the looked at the photos I see the IFF and aerial lines need retensioning. Ho Hum. Tim
