jotter Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Making a move on the Airfix Spitfire. Its a mix of raised and recessed panel lines and the wings are thick as slabs of Kraft cheese but I like it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jotter Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Matted the wing to the fuselage. Needed putty att he wing roots and trying to get the right dihedral were the biggest issues. I know this kit has it's detractors but to me I kinda like it's substantial feel and elegant look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jotter Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Black basing and my weak attempt at painting a mottled Middlestone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jotter Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Light unifying coat of Middlestone Followed by some Dark Earth and finally a coat of Dark Slate Grey and Mediterranean Blue with some faded unpainted areas on the spine and some wear at the wing roots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi, I really like this build. So much that I've taken that Airfix Mk Vc out of the stash. I see what you mean by "substantial feel and elegant look". Mine won't be for this GB of course, but we're not going to stop building Spitfires after the 1st of September, are we. Cheers, Stefan.

Grandboof Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Maybe not Recce Spits Maybe a Russian one for build a bear depending on guidelines. Good luck on finishing Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
