  1. Evening All. This could be a slow, long project. And its my first WIP, so who knows what's going to happen! Just started the 1/48 Vb from Tamiya. I got it cheap in Hobbycraft on impulse whilst waiting for the missus to decide why we went in there... Originally I was going to do one of the kit options but I've never been a big fan of that green and grey combo. Much prefer the FAA EDSG and Slate Grey, or the far east schemes. But as a stalled 1/24 Spitfire is eventually going to be a Malta Spit I wondered if there was some good aftermarket decals for the Tamiya kit. Had a look in Hannants but nothing shouted out at me, then I got to looking at the can of worms that is colour schemes for Malta planes.... My slightly deranged brain then had a cunning idea. Instead of getting the colours right, and the markings and the correct fit, why not do a mini dio of the painting process? Half a dozen bods with brushes painting different parts of the plane? Then the fizzing grey slush in my head had another thought. They're all doing this, say over a desert camo, but they're all using different shades of paint! What could go wrong? So there's the idea. The plan is to paint the Vb in desert camo then have bits of each wing, fuselage and the tail possibly in different over painted colours. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions for the Britmodeller collective brain with this, first would be, any idea where you can get some good Mediterranean style 1/48 ground crew? Haven't seen much on t'net. Anyway, whilst this was going on, I've made a start on the pit, and for some reason the pilot? Not sure how he can fit in this but we'll see. Tamiya interior green with oil washes, bit of everything for the pilot. Needs a matt coat then we'll see if we can get this show on the road! Cheers for looking Geoff
