Pawel Szczudlyk Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hello all. I would like to show you my latest model that I finish few days ago. This is Spitfire mk IXc flown by G/Cpt ALEKSANDER GABSZEWICZ 9½ confirmed kills, 1-1/3 probables, 3 damaged planes. This model went together like lego blocks. Only small amount of filler was required. For weathering I have use humbrol products paint and pigments plus mig oils.For panel lines I have use for first time flory model wash and I'm happy that I bought it. I have use a satin varnish because matt dull the colours a bit and all Spitfire that i saw in air show was a bit shiny. I am really pleased how she turns out and I hope that you will like it as well. Fell free to comment good or bad to help me improve my next build. Regards Paweł 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Pawel. I thoroughly enjoyed following your build of this Hasegawa Spitfire and it's turned out beautifully! I agree with you about your use of the Flory wash - I think it really adds something to the finish - (something else I now need to try!) ;-) Well done! Now - what's next? Kind regards, Stix Edited November 27, 2014 by PlaStix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 That's a very elegant Spitfire! The semigloss does enhance the smooth lines, I agree. Maybe not quite accurate historically (wartime Spit finishes were very matt, except when waxed, and warbirds flying now have a different kind of paint) but it pleases the eye! The only improvement I could think of would be to slightly drop the elevators to the position typical of a parked Spit. Excellent work! Kind regards, Joachim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not sure about kind of varnish I suppose to use so i pick satin. Next time will be matt. And next time i will follow your advice and elevators will be dropped. This is not my last Spitfire Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster213 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 That is a very nice spit and it was a pleasure to see it. Plus its a Polish Squadron, Their fighter pilot training was up there with Top Gun A much under valued fighting force in WW2 and Churchill's worst and greatest mistake. Well done SDK a beautiful model. Especially love the weathering on the underside and the detail in the cockpit. Kinda with the rest of the guys on the finish, I am a matt look for WW2 fighters guy, But hey, that doesn't detract from a model very well built. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
