pascal JMW Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) thank you all ! for the underneath AK interactive product ,I use them with a fine brush, and the longest I pull them with toothpicks, Then I cross a light veil of smoke tamiya, and well not varnish in matt this part of the plane.

Spitfire31 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Beautiful Spitfire! Usually, I'm a bit skeptical to heavy weathering, but you have managed to make it look quite realistic and compelling. One classic gripe: the Mk V didn't have any radio aerial from the antenna mast to the rudder, so it should be removed. As early as the autumn of 1940, front line Spits got VHF radiosets and their aerials were completely internal, in the antenna mast: http://spitfiresite.com/2010/04/spitfire-masts-and-aerials.html/2 Excellent and inspired modelling!
