PapaSmurf630 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Great weathering but it's the camo that struck me. How the hell did you do it that well? Your technique? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikeew Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Stunning weathering job! Amazing finish you got there, especially the camo and chipping, looks very good, quite realistic. Can't wait to see her finished, this is gonna be a beautiful Spitfire. I'll also endorse the Tamiya kits, they are excellent. regards, Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

josepedro Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Great weathering but it's the camo that struck me. How the hell did you do it that well? Your technique? Thank´s for the comment! I used vegetal paper masks, suspended from the surface +- 1mm and shooting the paint from a middle close angle with the edge of the mask! regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Very good !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
josepedro Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hello!!! Disaster stroke my spit when the box fell on the ground... Main landing gear legs broken but still fixable, but rear landing gear vanished for ever. <_< How can i arrange this? scratchbuiding? Any opinions Where i can find this without buying another kit? Short Budget... Thanks everyone for the comments! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Oh no, that is horrible! :D I have a tailwheel from a 1/48 P-51D Mustang. It is not an exact match, but you might be able to modify it for your Spitfire. If you are interested, let me know and I can send it to you. Hope you get your situation straightened out, that is such a beautiful aircraft. Good luck! :blink: Jamie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

josepedro Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 when u painted the camo, did u have the mask the bottom of the aircraft? including the wing so to prevent overspray? Hello!!!
