olda homola Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Hello, few pics of my Spit.. roundels were sprayed using Montex Mask (for 1/72 Wellington ), fin flash sprayed... I used my friend czech modeller method of preshading - painted some of panels with white and yellow to add contrast.. However, on the bottom I should used light blue instead of yellow (it´s too contrast) Edited March 6, 2009 by olda homola Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VG 33 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The kit is good old Hasegawa 1/72.... Well, I have already made two of them. Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olda homola Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Sorry guys, my PC collapsed , so I can´t post any update... Only with words - the upper surfraces, leading edges, code letters and strip in front of tail were sprayed... Next are upper roundels on wings, fuselage roundels, decals (S/N, score board..etc.) and little bit of weathering.. Edited February 26, 2009 by olda homola Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now your work is spot on for me. Congratulations. Patrick Edited March 14, 2009 by VG 33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olda homola Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 thanks a lot! HiI saw the "new" Airfix and actually it is the old one. Patrick, but I´ve seen some pics of that Airfix Spit and the panel lines were engraved (at last) So to understand you right - the base for this kit is that old mould? And only "rescribed" :P ?

David Koktavý Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi Olda, you really surprised me. It is one of the best looking Spitfires I have ever seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Very attractive model. Will you be doing another for the GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olda homola Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thank you guys! David, I think you exaggerate a little.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olda homola Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Very attractive model. Will you be doing another for the GB? Well Johnsan, I´d like to, already started another IX from Hasegawa, this time little conversion to "E" wing with open canopy..but I´m not sure If I finish it till the end of GB..

Patrick The old one is still available in a modern box, but the 'new' one is assuredly new - test shots were shown at the IPMS Nats (and component test shots prior to that) but it hasn't been released yet - they also have a PRXIX coming as well.
