Very nice! That’s my grandfather’s plane.
Nice kit, it is also interesting for a small detail, my name is wladimir and I am from the Republic of Panama and I knew years ago that as a gesture of solidarity my country made a national collection and both the people and the national government donated a Supermarine Vickers Spitfire to the British Government, but what I am not sure if it was in the period of the Battle of England or later in the middle of the war on Europe
When I saw the motto of this Spitfire, I reminded myself of that old story… is it perhaps the copy “Panama Bound”, the plane donated by my country to England at the time of the Second World War?
Greetings from Panama
