Experimenting with some lights for inside the hangar. Left the exposure on a little long but it will give you the idea. I think the light should be a little dark.

 Hoping someone here can help me. I'm building this 32 scale Revell Spitfire MKI/ MKII up to what i hope is one of Douglas Bader's planes. Wings have been glued and given the lack of detail in the wheel well, I guess it can be made wheels up, fuselage is only taped together to check the wing fit into the body. Should be OK cause i'm working on a method of running the planes along a clear line as if buzzing the circuit. The run inside the shed is 42ft from go to ..crash!( hope not) Debate seems to rage on the net as to Sir Douglas Baders correct planes so I guess what I'm after is some confirmation of Baders spitfire make/ model and some correct colour schemes..Not trying to be a rivet counter but hoping to finish this Spitfire pretty close to historically correct. Nothing worse than getting caught out by a plane expert at a slot car race.... or a slot car dude who thinks he's a plane expert for that matter. Thanks in advance. |

Have been working on a couple of methods of getting the planes to look as if they have done some hard miles. So came upon the idea of a scour pad rubbed across the wings to polish them a little, but not too much,
