I thought you chaps would like a gander at the Heller Spitfire XVI I've literally just finished.

OK, it's not brilliant, but I don't do my models to "wow" standards! ;)

Nice, did you cut open the canopy or do you get the option to leave it open or not when building it?

Thanks. No, you could build it open or closed. I quite often build mine with them open if given the option.

There are a few non-standard bits on the model - the instrument panel came from a Revell Spitfire VB, and the pilot is from a Matchbox Spit IX/XVI. The rest is per the kit.

Very tasty. How did you get the natural metal look?
