  1. Hello everyone! Here is the second Spitfire kit from the Eduard Dual Combo which I finished yesterday. It is Eduard's Supermarine Spitfire LF.IXc representing MJ586/LO-D, flown by Pierre Clostermann, No. 602 "City of Glasgow" Sqn., RAF, Longues-sur-Mer airfield, France, July 7, 1944. I started this at the same time as the other kit, of 601 Sqn, which I have already posted a few weeks ago. It took longer due to the more complex paint scheme. As with the other one, I made a rear bulkhead with seat to put in the empty cockpit and scratchbuilt a rear-view mirror above the windscreen (sprue from etched parts with Kristal Klear) and the underwing probe (from stretched sprue). The kit was fully painted (freehand), weathered and varnished with brush. Apart from a couple of minor quibbles I have with the weathering, I am also very pleased with how this one came out. The D-day markings really make it eye-catching. Most of the paints for the main scheme were Vallejo except for the dark green which was PollyScale. Vallejo's Sky Type S is a bit too dark and dull and maybe I should have used Tamiya's paint instead which would have come closer to Eduard's code letters (which I feel are a bit off in tone too). Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome. Miguel
  2. Simply smashing work there. Quite a return to the hobby indeed! Miguel
  3. Outstanding work and finish! Thanks for sharing. It's a pleasure to see it. Miguel
  4. I very much agree with all. Lovely work but, for me too, the panel lines are overdone. I prefer a more subtle approach since they weren't that visible. Superbly finished otherwise. Miguel
  5. It's nice to see such an ugly plane so beautifully finished! Well done, it looks really good. Miguel
  6. Outstanding!! Beautifully finished. Miguel
  7. Errors or not, that is a real stunner. The scheme is spectacular and your kit looks great. Bravo! Miguel
  8. Both look smashing and beautifully finished. Well done! Miguel
  9. Wow!! Superb work all around and a fantastic result. Miguel
