Spitfire Mk XII, Airfix 1/48


Recommended Posts

Well, it seems that I finally managed to finish something...

After what seems like an absolute age I mustered up the strength to finish it and as always there are a million things to do in the end.

Here is the rather portly looking Mk XII in all its glory:

Painted with Tamiya, weathered with some oil, and a few washes from MIG.

Turned out grand in the end :thumbsup:  Did your winterised Harrier ever make it back out of the box?

Thanks!

The winterised Harrier you say?

I looked at it last week actually. It got all stencils on now, but no snow distemper.

Maybe I should give it a spin with förhandling it? I got an extra couple of Harriers that I'm almost itching to start so it's no big deal if I screw up...

Sounds good to me. Then again I am a massively biased Harrier fan :D

Really nice, well finished, like the full Sutton harness. Only suggestion would be to replace the exhausts with Ultracast resin ones. This is such a lovely kit, I purchased another after completing one. If only Airfix had produced an Mk ix to this standard.
