Spitfire HF Mk VIII. Eduard 1/72.

[Andrés S]

Hi.

This is the second model I've finished in a short time. The reason is that I've been building several builds at the same time and 2 models in a similar stage of build have been put together in a short time.

 

I've really enjoyed this kit. It has abundant and well-done detail and although it's the weekend edition I've added some extras; photo-etched belts, Reskit wheels, Hispano guns in turned metal from Master Model and exhaust pipes from Eduard itself.

I've used Tamiya paints for everything except for the final varnish with Vallejo satin, doing the dirt and wear with oils and the airbrush also with Tamiya.

 

For the first time I've used AMMO Mig's adapter fluids. I've always used Micro's brand with the decals, but I liked the result obtained with Mig's fluids better.

 

I have several Spitfires that are advanced in their build, although this is the first one I have finished in 1/72 scale and as I said with the Eduard 109F, this will not be the last Spitfire I make, from Eduard or another manufacturer.

Nicely done Andres!  I like your weathering and wear.  Hard for me to believe it is 1/72.
