The Spitfire has arrived down under.

Richie sends this report:

Finally I have some progress pics for you. Got the top colors on and going to touch up a bit then Future her to be ready for decals when she gets to Spike.

  Also am including a few pics of what happened to me on the way home from work Wednesday. I'm totally fine so don't worry. As you can see from the pic it could have been much worse! Anyways all good here! Will post a few more pics when clear-coated.
Cheers, Richie   

Jeez, Richie, is there a fine in Australia for doing that to a tree?  (John)

The first camouflage color:

And the second:

Looks like nice work, Richie.  Mike is probably real eager to finish off this beauty.  Then we can get it to the CAG, which is pretty
neat because the Fleet Air Arm build is cranking up again at FSM.

Got a few more pics. Just tidyed the green up a bit and fixed theleft wing green so it looks more like the V pattern should and did a mockup
of the cowling to assure camo lines up and give an overall view of how she's looking. Will future coat in the next day or two.
Cheers, Richie
