Nice work James. Those resin exhausts look great. 
 

If memory serves me correctly the only resin cowl that actually fits the Eduard Spitfire kits is the Ultracast one. I think that Eduards own one and the one from Barracuda are to short.

Thanks James  I can confirm the Barracuda one is definitely too short, but it's made for the Mk IX which is a different fuselage (sprue E for the IX and I for the VIII). I've got the Eduard cowl on order now anyway, currently winging it's way from the Czech Republic (along with a few other bits to make it worth the postage). If that turns out to not fit when it arrives, I'll investigate the Ultracast one.
