cger Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi all, I recently completed another aussie Spitfire from the Eduard "Aussie Eight" combo. Of course I had to build Clive Caldwell's plane. The build went smoothly, the only minor complaint is the two parts upper cowling which leaves a seam to fix and the rather complicated exhaust installation. I finished the plane following Eduard's instructions using Gunze and Tamiya paints. Weathering is done with Mig Ammo panel line washes and some ink pens. I hope you will enjoy the pictures, best, Christian. 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Christian, That looks superb. I particularly like the exhaust staining, how did you achieve that? Regards H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards H Hi Howard, the exhaust stains are airbrushed with very thin coats of Tamiya buff, adding then some brown and black tones. Then I used a thin brush hoisted with isopropyl alcohol to mimic the effect of rain washing away part of the stains, Christian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjs Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Excellent, love it. Got one to do myself sometime. You say about the cowling cover? Are you aware that you can get a replacement resin one from Barracuda? https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BCR48191 I know it doesn't help much with this one and as you can see Hannants are out of stock at the moment but thought I'd mention it for the future.

Builder Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Excellent finish. Love the white stripes, perfect job on the panel lines and weathering, very nice looking propellar too. Oh and that base is a really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Very nice indeed, weathering & base are spot on. I've made 2 Eduard Spits, I can't understand why the engineeredthe exhausts & cowling cover like they did - baffling. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
