PhantomBigStu Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Had to put my merlin pair aside for a few days as I stuffed up plaiting the dark earth and need to strip it back to primer, so that leaves a gab on the bench, either an academy tempest or the reissue of the airfix spitfire 19 I picked up the other day, did pick it up to do as a wartime XIX, but was not aware the fact there wartime ones were different so I shall do it in the nice silver scheme. Should be a fun simple build Edited July 2, 2017 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The sleek lines of a late-mark Spitfire are certainly shown to great effect in the smooth nature of the XIX with its lack of guns and all their associated lumps. The silver scheme only serves to accentuate that. Nice work there Stu, a lovely choice of subject, this one looks to be going together well.

PhantomBigStu Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Looks like it will be a double feature, one of the underwing serials broke and I lost the bits for the 8, so will be picking up a 2nd edition to do as a wartime version Edited June 15, 2017 by PhantomBigStu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well this was much harder than it should have been, the heat massively affected it so ended up with a shocking paint job that had to be fixed. Done now just needs some decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
