bobster Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) The Spitfire looks very good, the workmanship is superb. What kit have you produced this work of art from and have you added the riveting detail? *edit previous post answered my questions* Very good modelling Polkenti Rob Edited May 22, 2015 by bobster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimHead23 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Really stunning. Your panel lines and rivet work are works of art. I am very familiar with this kit and I am finding hard to relate to the original! May I ask what techniques you use? Anything out of the ordinary?

polkenti Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Jeam ! Really nothing out of the box. Ordinary technics. Nothing special. Paneling and riveting made with sharp tip and Trumpeter tool. Not the best for me, far from Rosie. Anyway, the secret is to try to do the best that can be done at the special moment. And from time to time, a glass of red wine to preserv the nervs. Anis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
