It wasn't my fault !!!
The spring is late coming ... so I had time on my hands ... and a Dremel ... and I couldn't let those Mitchell chaps have all the fun ... and the finish on the reel was truly awful (is there a paint moth ???) when I got it ... and it was cheap enough to play with ... so here it is ... "Full Metal Merlin."

Very nice job!
Did you know Mordex did a few with a 'Spitfire' type finish, only seen 2 or 3 over the years though.
