RookieLSP Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Greetings! I just finished this today and thought I'd share. It was built completely OOTB with the only exception being Techmod decals which I used because the color registry of the kit decals was pretty awful. As I'm still a relative newbie to this hobby I was caught completely by surprise by the fact that this kit has raised panel lines. So it was inadvertently my first foray into re-scribing a kit. I'll try to avoid that little bit of joy whenever possible going forward. <_< The paints are Xtracrylix on the exterior, with a mix of stuff inside depending on what I had laying about. This is not my finest achievement in modeling, but I'm not going to be trashing any time soon. It is however my third completed build in 2008, and all of them in 1/32! Shaping up to be a productive year..... Thanks for looking! All comments are welcomed.... Here are two shots of the office before everything got closed up. It's the part of the build I'm most pleased with... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaNdStOrM Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sweet. I too was foolishly caught out by raised lines and share your sentiments on the subject! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn C. Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That's no rookie build. I think they sent us a ringer! Nice Spitfire, very well done all around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cemical Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Good effort on rescribing the panel lines, but that is tricky task, and you can see that it's not straight. NOT to vorry my first rescribing was worse than yours But a great build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
