1/72 Spitfire Mk. 16, 501 (County of Gloucester) Squadron 1947

[Andrew]

As a second entry to this Group Build, I've chosen Eduard's lovely little kit of the Mk. 16 (late), which was purchased as an overtrees offering. It will depict aircraft SL669, wearing codes RAB-K of 501 squadron in 1947, thanks to Xtradecal sheet X72-182.

Here are the sprues and a nice bit of additional etch purchased at the same time as the plastic:

Some extra leave over the Easter break should be very helpful in progressing this kit and its co-entry, an Airfix 1/72 Mk. 22, fingers crossed.
