SimonL Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Found this old'un from the back of the shed covered in a thick layer of dust. Made this 10 years or so ago, back when I still used enamels. Brush painted with Humbrol enamels and finished straight from the box to represent an aircraft of 80 Squadron RAF. One of the first models I attempted to make a but grubby using watercolours. Thanks for looking. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Looks good to me, perhaps a little shiny, but they probably were in that period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 They were indeed far from dead matt, and I think that comes over well on the model. Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Very nice finish! Brush painted? Can hardly believe it. The easiest 'upgrade' would probably be to replace those horrible Airfix Rotol blades that don't seem to make up their minds which way to turn. Nice work indeed and worth a better fate than being hidden on a shelf in the shed! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob85 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 The finish is right for the time, but I am not a fan of a shine don't no why. Love the scheme and your work is great. In fact this plus the Blenheim and didn't you do a brilliant 1/72 silver typhoon.... Pretty brilliant line up.... Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonL Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thanks for all the comments. In actuality it isn't that shiny, it's a bit of a trick of the light (it was very bright this morning). And thanks for the vote of confidence Rob :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Another great Spitfire Simon! Good to see it - better than being at the back of the shed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
