Mark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Your painting skills are superb! That is an excellent piece of work. Just one question though. After you pre-shaded the upper surfaces, you then spray the complete upper surfaces with the lighter colour, in this case the grey. Surely you would have lost some definition of the pre-shading before you then cover the appropriate areas in green? In other words, the pre-shading should look more defined under the grey than the green, but it doesn't. How did you achieve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBZ Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I get second preshading on grey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Kelley Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Beautiful job you are doing. I have 2 in my stash, 1 of them with the brassin cockpit. Salivating at the prospect of doing them:-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live_bait Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Awesom build, congrats for the great work. Regarding your future project of the Stanislaw Skalsky Circus ZX-6 Spit MkIXc. I got the decals from Aeromaster Spitfires at War Part II 48-210. And the ZX-6 is in black color with white edges. The latest Tamiya Spitfire Mk IXc 1/32 is coming with this version but the ZX-6 is blue with white edges. Do you have an idea of which of both a colors is the accurate one?

In my oppinion all Mk.IX (ZX- from 0 to 10) from Skalskis Circus (or C flight of 145 sqn, or Polish Combat Team) have blue color with white edges. Bigger discrepancy is description of camuflage paint. ZX-1 and 4 has Desert Scheme painting but some sources suggests ZX-6 has Temperate Scheme paiting beacause on b/w photos is darker than other Mk.IX. http://pspbis.fm.interia.pl/cs.htm Edited September 9, 2013 by JBZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Definitely blue with white outline. Aeromaster have not always been the most accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) In my oppinion all Mk.IX (ZX- from 0 to 10) from Skalskis Circus (or C flight of 145 sqn, or Polish Combat Team) have blue color with white edges. To be honest, Wyszkowski's ZX-o has much darker letters than the other planes. Black? Speaking about the others - the colour photo shows clearly light blue. But on these black and white photos some letters look like just white outline, without colourful interior. But this is just supposition, with no proof. "Pat" model is amazing. Very good job. The only complain I have are bombs - they lack weathering. Seriously. Edited September 26, 2013 by GrzeM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live_bait Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 That`s right, they look pretty dark if not black. Not the same collor than Skawlski ZX-6 though. Well having the right paint for everysingle aircraft in the squdron seems to be too perfect, especially considering the desperate days back then trying to keep the ships operational.

JBZ Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 The only complain I have are bombs - they lack weathering. Seriously. It's my idea-dirty plane from autumn 1944 with "new" bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrzeM Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bombs have rarely been "new" due to way they were stored and transported. Most photos show something like this: BTW, bmb tails were clean, as these were stored in basket-like containers. But the corpses - were just put on the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
