(...) Leigh, Wow, where do I start with this! It goes without saying but the detailing here is terrific, and a great example of the possibilities of building in more of a Model Team type scale, rather than good old minifig scale. The Spitfire is a (...) (18 years ago, 1-Sep-06, to lugnet.build.military)
