mostrich Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Very well done, Matthias! What I really like is the weathering, especially the oil leaks around the rivets on the motor cowling. Are they enamels or oils? My Eduard Spitfire will hit my doorstep tomorrow. Looking forward diving into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathy Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 I used Fuel Steins by AK (025) and Engine Fuel and Oil by Ammo of Mig for this spots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I think the lubricants and fluids leaking from every panel and fastener like that is overdone, and doesn't bear much relation to reality. Also the rusty exhaust looks odd. Rest of it is absolutely excellent! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy da fish Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I like this Spitfire very much indeed, weathering is also heavy, but more than likely real enough, I for one would not like to fly this aircraft. I wished I had This model in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand every fastener, you're right, must be the time to open and have a look ! sincerely. Corsaircorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie(kinda) Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 BLIMEY!! That is one superbly painted and weathered Spit. Excellent work. If I were to be uber picky (and I'm really not in a position to be), I'd suggest the exhausts need to feel slightly less 'rusty'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
