Col. Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 This one will certainly make for a big model of the "Courageous Defender In The Decisive Battle of Britain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Looks as if you have a good selection of sub-assemblies there Erwin. I'm guessing you put the old kit aside due to being too basic in favour of the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you put the old kit aside due to being too basic in favour of the new one? Indeed.The old Revell kit was nice in de 70's. But their are better kits now that don't need much work to build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Nice choice, I'm very interested in watching this kit built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I agree with you on the level of detail on the later version, but I believe the original Mk 1 has a better shape. Just my opinion for what it's worth, I'll still be watching. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 This new kit isn't perfect.A lot of unneeded very small parts that could have been molded on. And I don't need a 5-piece seat or air intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Paint is a brushpainted 50/50 % mix of satin and matt to give a soft shine. Edited March 26, 2016 by Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A nice smooth paint job there Erwin. What green did you use? It seems rather bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) A nice smooth paint job there Erwin. What green did you use? It seems rather bright. Maybe I should have explaned. This will be a gift to a 84 year old relative that wanted a Spitfire for a long time as he saw them fly during WW-2 . The colours don't have to be correct for this project. He just wants a 'nice-looking" Spitfire. Edited March 28, 2016 by Erwin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Good job Erwin ! Glad to see a large scale Spitfire joining the gallery. What do you think of this kit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Good job Erwin ! Glad to see a large scale Spitfire joining the gallery. What do you think of this kit ? The fit is perfect. Just a lot of small cockpit parts to my taste. The seat alone is 5 small parts. Otherwise a very good kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 That turned out really well. Lovely neat and tidy finish! Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
