Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire F Mk.22 1:72
al_the_drummer replied to stoutdave's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Welcome to BM! For a first effort, all I can say is – blimey! Top work. When I re-started after the inevitable hiatus of growing up enough to re-visit childhood hobbies my first effort looked very much like my childhood had barely elapsed at all! Really nicely done, and it looks like your learning curve is steep but well shaped. One top tip for straight lines - Tamiya masking tape is incredibly, invaluably useful. It's worth paying the premium for it - low tack, so it doesn't lift off paint, and infinitely moveable. Looking forward to seeing your next build! -

Absolutely superb. I'm absolutely blown away by the level of detail in the paint finishing - just stunning. Top, top work...simply wonderful. -

Gosh - that looks absolutely fantastic! You'd never guess it was what - from preconceptions - may be quite a simple, basic kit. Beautiful finishing too - really like this! -

That's a beauty! Great work on the painting - very realistic, and a very eye-catching scheme. -

That's an absolute corker. Love the subtlety yet visibility of the weathering - wholly appropriate for the scale, and the build and overall paintwork is fantastic. Very inspiring. -

That's an absolutely beautiful build. Terrific work with the complex canopy - and lovely mottling camo!

al_the_drummer replied to Wolwe82's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Startlingly good work there - incredible weathering. I like to think of weathering as being impressionistic - sure, you can go for absolute accuracy, but I'd rather be drawn in with a bit of drama such that I want to know the story of the machine in question and the people who flew and worked on her. After all, if you wanted absolute accuracy, there's no substitute for sheet metal and 1:1 scale! I absolutely love this. -

al_the_drummer replied to Alpha Delta 210's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's a great build of a fiddly kit - I've built the Mk.I which is from the same moulds and found it surprisingly awkward, cracking decals though. Top job! - EDIT - A repeat comment! Evidently I really do like this build! -

Fantastic build - great to see such a beautiful bird in unusual markings, and that's some top-notch weathering. Extremely realistic, especially around the cockpit. -

al_the_drummer replied to Brewer's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Absolutely lovely build. Top work sir! -
That's an absolute corker of a build. Having just completed a rather hapless Italeri 87B, it's inspirational to see what can be done in more skilled hands. Wonderful.
