Hi Guys, ive just finished making a turntable from trespa to use for photos and spraying (I'll cover it in cling film) Just thought id show 2 more pics of my Spitfire. Im currently working on a Hawk so will post some nearer completion.... Neil

Hi mirage, I used Tamiya paints and mixed them according to the instructions. For the top matt coat I used Revell clear matt. Hope this helps. Neil

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Neil

Hi guys, sorry about the long absence, Few problems but now im sorted. Heres my MK1 spit now virtually finished.im not totally happy with it, but ive learned a good few lessons from the build....... Neil

Sorry, do these petitions ever mean anything (or even change anything). Neil

It was a great evening as always, I did take 2 photos of the Sabreliner, not my thing really. I was more interested in the RAF Bae 146......Very nice!!!! Any C+C welcomed Neil

Heres a pic i took at Northolt The other night....... Neil

Thanks guys, i'm really pleased with the Spitfire. I'm going to attempt the exhaust stubs next..... Neil

Managed a few more hours on the Spit the last few evenings. Heres the story so far....... I also had a practise at weathering the underside of my Hurricane before I apply fully to the Spitfire underside Its the first bit of weathering ive done so go easy on me!!! I used the heavy dirt Flory model wash. Neil

I like the weathering, Well done Neil

Very nice Neil

Great advice jas. altough heavily pre shaded models look amazing, you are right. Scale em up and they would look strange. I am going to keep this post updated. Today I bought the camo paints ( and an airfix 1/72nd Sea king for £2.99!!!). Im looking forward to getting the Camo on the Spit. Neil

I've just bought the flory models dark weathering wash< i'm looking forward to trying it. Do I add it after Decals? Neil

I've already painted over the white dunlop. I would like to do a small amount of weathering but due to the fact i've never done any before, i'm unsure about how to go about it. I have bought some tamiya weathering sets, B and D. i was hoping to use the 'soot' to dirty her up a bit. Neil

Had a few more hours to build some more of the Spit today. Heres how far ive got. This is my 2nd go at scribbing (my hurricane didnt go as well as i hoped) This time i'm happy with the results. I have primmed it and now im going to have a go at pre shading. I attempted this on my last model but it didnt show through. Im going to try thinning the paint down a bit more. Any |advice is welcomed...... Neil
