'Grey Nurse' Spitfire

Got a model of this 'Grey Nurse' Spitfire mostly because of its 'shark face', but also because it served in the Royal Australian Air Force, so it has roundels which weren't yet sported by any of the Spitfire models in my collection. 


Does add something to the collection, doesn't it?
