Just started a fun build of a Revell 1/72 Sopwith F-1 Camel and going to try and upgrade it a bit with Airwaves.. A couple of photo's of the kit and what Ive done up to now.Its g.oing to be fun and games,Unless it goes in the bin. Im still trying to get the hang of all of this kit making.

Im still watching and learning. Your spitfire is looking good.

Looks good, Its nice to see your spitfire all finished. Im sure if Sergeant Bernard 'Jimmy' Jennings Could see it he would love it, You have done it proud for him.

Hi BIG X I have these going spare if ypu need them, Could post them In the morning. Just let me know.

Looking good to me,will sit back and wait for more. I will be following this build

I like all the detail you are doing to your Spitfire. Looking forward to see more of it.

Well just finished my 1/72 Airfix Blister Pack Supermarine Spitfire Mk1. The Decals in the kit where not much use as you may have seen in my build. So I thought for this time of year I would do this to my spitfire. To those that gave there ALL and to those that gave so MUCH. So we can enjoy what we have now and be able to do the things we like. I will always remember them and THANK THEM.

Well the decals are on . So will put photo's in the Ready for Inspection. A quick photo now, of the decals.

Now that looks really nice. Like what you have done to Skyraider.

Hi BIG X Just tryed the amber light this is how it turnd out useing Tamia Clear Red X-27 and Tamiya Lemon Yellow X-8. Dont know if it should be amber But it does make it standout more.

Just loking at your spitfire and all the detail you are doing. Its looking good I will have to watch and learn.

Done a bit more , propellers and amber light under fuselage yet to do then the decals . a quick photo of my spitfire up to now.

You Spitfire is really good. The care and detail you are taking, Im watching reading and learning from you as you go along.Hope you dont mind me pinching a few of your how to's

Thank you for the offer, I have been thinking ( its not good when I think ) Im gong to try some thing. Just hope it work and looks OK when its done, will try and get it sorted by next week-end. Yes using a airbrush. it is loooking better now that is dry and in a better light. More photo's on Monday.Then once it all dried by the end of the week I should be able to put the photo up of the decals or lack of. Food for thought.

Just done a bit of painting to the Spitfire, quit pleased with it.Thats it for a couple of days. Busy tomorrow so it will give it time to dry.

Here is what I mean about the the decals that came with the kit as you can see in the photo's it should be fun and games time.

I like it WHERE can I get ONE

Hi Corsairfoxfouruncle. They will find plenty of things wrong with my builds.Doing them for the fun of it and to learn as I go along. So any help and tips are most welcome.

Hi BIG X you are more than welcome to tag along and give me some advise and help. Yours is looking really good. dont expect the same high standers from me. Just reading about your decals they look good to me. I may have a job sorting my decals, will post a picture and you will see why. All good fun tho and a good way to learn

I like what you have done. The build looks great and I like the paint work.

Not long joined , I did say that I have started an Eduard Spitfire in the new members section.So I thought I would learn and try on the blister pack first.Give me some insight of putting the spitfire together and also painting. I Have looked at some of the models on Britmodeller and they look so good and have read some of the tips, some of you are really amazing . This is what Ive done with the blister pack up to now

Hi, Just thought that I would say hello and tell you a little bit about me. Getting on in years a bit, but never to old to learn. Did try toy modeling in the 50's a couple of war ships. not very good at that. So I am now trying some Aircraft. I have started building a 1/72 Eduard Spitfire engine which I hope to put in a eduard 1/72 spitfire MK.1X and using the eduard MK.1X Gun Bays also using Mk.1X undercarriage legs. I am not going to paint any brass or copper bits as I want them to stand out. Have put a couple of photo's To show what Ive done up to now. I know not as good as a lot of you, but Im quit please with it, I know I've used some wrong colours but who cares I dont. its an hobby and some thing to try. Just found out I do not know how to put photo's on Will find out and then put then on. We live and learn Sorted photo's done.
