You can only do you best and thats it! If you can't finish don't worry to much its supposed to be fun not a chore.

Watch this space, because i may just do this!! Decals have proved a problem, but i may have a cunning and time saving plan. :crying2:

i have an apointment tommorow , so i'm finnishing it up tommorow all markings ended up being hand painted as the dutch roundels were too far off red ( they looked a lot redder on the sheet )

only main gear instalation and painting left for tommorow

the gear is scratch built as the kits were damaged

not exact , for speed , but good representations

Here's my build. 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I by Pegasus. The kit cost only $11. I used MM enamel paints, Tamiya Weathering Master for the exhust and gun smoke stains, ProModeler "dark" wash for the panel lines and kit decals. I built it plane with the gear up so my 6 year old nephew can hang it from his roof.

Enjoy!

Good looking Spitfire! Almost jumped in with a 1/72 Airfix Mk.I myself but I knew I'd never make it, plus I didn't wanna spend my 4-day Thanksgiving weekend building and painting like a man posessed!

Nice job. :cheers:

May be next time John eh? I really enjoyed doing this, it was a right laugh! I may organise another in the new year if anyone's interested?

Yeah maybe next time, Oliver, although TWO weeks would be kinda nice! :monkeydance: If the aerosol-can clearcoats are still cool with you I'd pretty much HAVE to jump in.

Set it up as an official G/B, add another week to it, and you'll probably get a much better turnout.

This one's fun to watch though!

Again, great idea.

Needless to say I didn't get this done. I was away on vacation.

I did get a great start on the kit though and I am really looking forward to wrapping it up and getting started on the Canadian Wings GB.

I am still working away on this little Corsair and having a great time doing it. I really don't recall the last time I took a paint brush to a model but this is the plane with the cockpit installed and the first coat of paint on the fuselage. I'll do a coat tomorrow on the wings and then I am going to throw a washed out blue to the whole model to try and get a sun bleached effect.

I know I am way off with the GB completion date but this is a blast.
