I think it's time to put this SOB aside again. I'm just not up to dealing with this type of headache. I'll return to it "later". ☹️

The B and C were practically identical as far as I know. No conversion that I know of.

Thanks Peter! I'm pleased that you like it.

Thanks Dennis. I agree!

I'll work on this one for a while just to have something on the bench. I may set it aside again if and when I decide to go to something else. We'll see......

Now it's time to resume work on this one. The replacement clear parts and exhausts from Aerocraft Models will go a long way towards making this a nice model.

Thank you Kai! I'm pleased you like the results of my efforts!

Thanks Gaz! I'm glad you approve!

Thank you Hubert. I'm glad you like it.

Finished with this one. 31st FG a/c flown by Tommy Molland. As always, Tamiya kits are a pleasure to build. After market items are Barracudacast resin wheels and seat plus some other cockpit details. Painted with Xtracolor and MM. Decals are by Victory Productions and my decal stash. As always, click on the 1st photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. I hope you like it.

All done. Check completed work.

Thanks Peter! I just finished applying the clear flat coat so now it will be time to doing some weathering.

LOL A lot more work than I'd be wanting to undertake!

Thanks Gaz!!!!

Finished with the decals. I'll add the landing gear next then see about a over spray with clear flat. (This particular a/c was not coded HL*K but HL*X. Some sources depict it as K as does the Victory Productions decal sheet which I used for some of the markings. A careful examination of the photo of the real a/c, in my humble opinion, not-so-clearly show it as X. It is also shown as X in the Osprey book American Spitfire Aces. So I went with X.)

LOL Gaz. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks Peter. This being such a nice kit it only needed a minimum of filler and sanding. That's what I like!!!!! LOL 😀

Progress!!! 😀

Thank you Hubert!!

Thanks Harv!

Thank you Dennis!

Thanks Kai! Next are the yellow stripes on the wings then I can start applying decals.

Painting done except for some touch ups. Xtracolor.
