Farnarkle Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hello All, My interpretation of 79 Sqn RAAF Spitfire VIII (yes I know the kit is really a Mk IXe). Fun to build and fun to paint -- happy days! Thanks for looking and thanks for commenting. Good Modelling all Ian 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnarkle Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hello Tony, - It has been freehand airbrushed with an Aztek A470 with tan tip. The Green is (if I remember) Tamiya XF 81. Let me know if you want to know more. Regards, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDriskill Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That's beautiful! I have to admit I have a soft spot for good 1/144 kits, but to me they are more "modeling jewelry"--fine examples of the mold-maker's art--than something these old eyes and hands could actually build! I take my hat off to anyone who can make them look good. Your work is excellent, and I can see I need to add these little Eduards to my collection of Sweet and Platz kits.

Stesca Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Arrrrgh, I cant do this standard in 1/48 scale let alone 1/144, superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony8 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hello Ian.Thanks for the info.I m a bit of a danger with airbrush. Was thinking of trying Mk9c wings with Mk9e fuselage (for the broad chord tail ) alter air intake and cowl and fit tailwheel doors to make Mk8. Will stay in touch.cheers.
