[1/48 Tamiya Spitfire MK VB]

Beautiful build. I have one of these on the bench at present to do in markings of Wing Commander Ian Gleed.

Can i ask which Lifecolor paints that you used...look pretty bang on to me!

[1/48 Tamiya Spitfire MK VB]

Just finished this one this morning, started it 2 days ago trying to get the mojo back. Its been 3 weeks since I have even worked on anything. The kit is the Tamiya 1/48 MK VB Trop built OOB except for the decals from Lifelike, painted with Lifecolor paints. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Mike!

2. Being that this aircraft was photographed in mid-1944, and the fact there is no pictures of the right hand side of this aircraft. It's very likely this particular aircraft on the right hand side does display as I have it shown here(QP-Z). In fact, "Detroit Miss" of the 361st FG, the same group in the pic you posted on "Mish's" thread on "Cripe's A' Mighty" had its call letters laid out in the same manner(E2-D) on the starboards side of the fuselage and was in theater at the same time.

Then why is your port nav light green

[F-18 Hornet, lets see how this goes :D]

great start

Good looking kit Mish!

I notice three things off on her though...

1. You forgot the red dot on the main gear skirts

2. Wrong drop tanks... the drop tanks used in the ETO late are the English made 110 gallon paper drop tanks. The tear drop American made tanks late were being sent to the Pacific.

3. You starboard wing lights are in the wrong order. going to the nearest to the leading edge to the rear it should be amber orange, green and then red.

Outside these minor visual discrepancies, she looks amazing Mish.

Regards,

Hurry

I have pics of European mustangs from Jan/Feb 1945 with the tear drop tanks, and all my reference books refer to the recognition lights as being red, green and amber.

This is my latest build, the kit is 1/48 Tamiya, painted with Lifecolor and Tamiya and the decals are from Caracal. The travel pod is from a spare Hasegawa kit

This is where I'm at so far, I've put the build on hold while I catch up on my catalina build.

[Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A]

not the first one I've built, will be the 5th

[P-51B]

Thanks for the kind words, but I have had a disaster with the build. I applied my wash to it and when I went to take it off, it had stain the finish. I'm not happy with it at all, I'm going to start another build next week.

very nice Mish

[Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A]

got a little bit done on the cockpit, the PE left a lot to be desired so I went aheand and used the decals over the PE.

I normally dont build in 72nd scale but this GB will get this kit out of my stash. I'll be building the Iranian F-14A Aggressor using Fightertown decals.

ok started the build today, unlike other kits the instructions have you start with the engine.

So this is what I started with

and this is what it looks like for now, still need to do a bit of weathering on it
