"And in need of some nice young ladies to touch him up a bit.

With paint, that is."

Great humour.

@kaiserkid01 Your correct the model of James has now been reunited with his aircraft, the Royal Air Force Museams website has an article on the return, and nice to see some of the kids from the Thomas Telford school also getting involved again, thanks for the comment, hope you have a good time at Cosford

Looks like the exhaust stacks at least have been repainted to a better looking color. The rest of the Spit coloring seems about the same as it did when the thing was made. I'm glad too since the Telford school team did a good job on the paint. Looks like it also used an "aftermarket" pre-bulged tyre (tire to us yanks) for the tail wheel. ;)

@JMChladek think your right does look great its nice to see it return and in time for the Spitex modeling event where it will be the perfect backdrop.
