Hello ARC!
Here is my
Revell/Monogram Spitfire, built completely OOB as Douglas Bader's
airplane. There are more detailed Spitfire kits available, but
despite it's age, this one can still be made up into a nicely detailed
kit, with little effort, and is still detailed enough to stand on its own,
(in my humble opinion!)

I used
Model Master Acryl paints through my airbrush for the camouflage after giving it
a silver primer coat from a spray can and a bit of pre-shading. I scraped
away some of the paint with my fingernails where I wanted bare metal showing,
and used soft pastels to replicate engine exhaust, gunpowder and a bit of mud
thrown up towards the wings (from landing on wet, grassy muddy airfields).
The base is another find from the thrift store (bases are cheaper there!) with a layer of spackle, smeared liberally with brown poster paint, then covered with grass and bushes from Woodland Scenics.
Thanks for looking - CHEERS!!!
Ramon R. Lomeli
