Thanks Keith and Terry👍
 

The decals on the Spitfire were done with Klear, as an experiment. On the Hurricane I used micro set/sol, which for me gave a superior finish...

Great pair.

Both models looks superb. For my eyes, hurricane is spot on, and spitfire maybe with little more weathering than i like but as i said, this is my taste... :)

In any case you done a great job

Best regards

Very nice models. And the weathering is not overdone. I like it.

Both models look very realistic Matt, good job! I particularly like the Hurricane. I can't see much difference in the photos between Klear vs Micro sol/set.  I use both techniques as well.

Excellent depiction of the two flag bearers over England in the Summer of 1940.
