I went for gear up and no prop blades as I think it lets the Spitfires beautiful lines shine through. The kit prop blades look a bit weedy and so does the undercarriage. It also gives me a chance to use the kit stand as intended. Gallery shots are on the way... Lovely job on JE-J, Tony and this should definitely get a few swoops round the room before going back on the stand. We know it's the 'real' JE-J because it has the green maple leaf emblem, not the 'corrected' red one from the later boxings. I had a read up on this when I did one and apparently 'Johnny' Johnson remembers it as being green in his memoirs (maybe a nod to the UK) but everyone else says it must have been red because that is what the Canucks put on their machines. Very interesting stuff! Anyway, the kit has turned out smashing and I think no-one of a certain generation will ever get tired of putting this one together. All the best. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
