wellsprop Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi all, Built and painted this in a matter of a few hours so its totally OOB except decals. Nothing fancy, not much time and effort put unto this kit as I've only built it to at last complete my Spitfire collection. Im pleased with the result. The kit isnt fantastic but it completes my collection at last. Ill upload a pic of my entire collection tomorrow. Ben. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Looks like a pretty decent effort to me. Whose/what decals were those? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Strewth,talk about a magic wand You should have titled your build up thread "Here's a quick Spit". I'll have to get that Heller XVI I have out one of these days. Good work matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Nice one! I built one last year and if you reduce the raised panel lines and shorten the U/C legs they turn out quite nice! I too used after market decals as the kit ones are pretty poor. Thank's for showing, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsprop Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 The roundels and fin flash are from Xtradecal normal 36" c1 type. The codes and squadron markings are from the Sword XVI kit. I thought the uc legs were fine. Heres it next to the Airfix IX. The real problems are the huge rivets and raised panel lines. The radiator is far too large aswell.

Rick Brown Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just did a quick, non scientific, measure Ben and they are indeed very similar. Mine looks odd and too high, maybe how it sits causing an optical illusion. Yep, forgot to mention the radiators! Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear wheel is too large and makes it sit odd aswell XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
