falcon20driver Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Darren, thats a good looking Spitfire. I like the left over camo on the cowling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TripleP Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Nice livery. You don't see that much Spitfires built in this outfit. Perhaps you could improve the looks by checking the angles of the main gear legs (too much outwards) and the position of the wheels (negative camber). It's now a kind of BF-109 undercarriage and I suppose those guys on 'that island west of the main continent Europe' would not like that. :-) Cheers, Peter Edited May 21, 2014 by TripleP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darren Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Not gonna change it! As too scared of breaking it and ruining it! I know nothing about Spitfire's as they ain't a plane I'm that much interested in. Oh well I hope I please you with the next one! Whatever that might be?

Joel_W Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Daren, Nicely done. I do remember the discussion about the actual paint and or camo scheme of the engine cover. Your decision to go with the camo scheme really looks good, as it's a natural focal point to view your model. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
