Jammur Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi sorry i've not posted much as far as the build process goes but I have really cracked on with this one. I have filled it, primed it, painted it, sprayed a coat of Klear applied the decals and as you can see they have set nicely into the recess panel lines. Now I have sprayed another coat of Klear over the decals and now once this is dry I will apply the wash. Pretty happy with the outcome so far as it's my first WW2 aircraft. Really enjoyed building this wee beauty. Thanks for looking Comments welcome Jammur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammur Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks woody. Theanorak73 - yes very nice set of decals which come with the kit, it's from 618 squadron based at Dyce, Aberdeen in 1944. Jammur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Before you put a final varnish on it would be worth seeing if you can lift the walkway lines off the wing roundels, as the walkways never go over the roundels on a Spitfire. It should be easy enough to do with a bit of delicate work using a new scalpel blade to cut through the walkway lines at the boundary of the roundel, then just lift or gently scrape off the offending line.

And don't get it filthy-dirty either Jammur. It's a post-war RAuxAF machine,they were kept priddy shiny. Edited July 15, 2013 by Miggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I done.... But thanks for pointing it out. It didn't look quite right so I checked some photos. Miggers, thank you also I might need to take a tad more off then lol Jammur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 See you lot,I told you the ICM XVI scrubs up well. Hey, you never had to convince me. All the variations on the ICM kit can be made to come out very nicely, though the later the better as the earliest releases are plagued with the horrendous sinkage. Even the later iterations are prone to it here and there but it's nothing chat can't be dealt with. Jammur, I am glad you have sidestepped the walkway problem - I'm looking forward to seeing the next steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammur Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Just a small update but no pics sorry. For me the spit is coming on great, so great infact that I'm adding a few things which I will post in the coming days so keep tuned , I'm sure you will all like it as it matches the model.... Thank you for all your positive input so far Jammur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
