TAMIYA 1/72 SPITFIRE MK I

Hello modelers!
Here is my build of Tamiya's 1/72 Spitfire Mk I.
The last kit I finished was 25 years ago and have always envied the skills of the modellers I have seen here on TH-cam. Over the years I made numerous attempts to get back into the hobby and I have at least half a dozen models that I started along the way with good intentions but never completed any of them.
After regularly watching a some modellers here
‪@NightShiftScaleModels‬
‪@TheInnerNerd‬
‪@Panzermeister36‬
‪@idaemonplasmo‬
just to name a few, I was inspired. I used some information or technique from each of them at some point in my build. So I finally sat down with one kit from start to finish and this is the result.
I also wanted to shout out to ‪@ModestModeler‬ whose tutoriaI • Make a HYPER-REALISTIC... I used as a guide to make the display base in this video.
