Totto Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I have just finished my Spitfire Vb in 1/48 scale from Tamiya. Cockpit is from Aires, propeller and exhaust pipes are from Quickboost and wheels are from Barracudacast. The model represents Spitfire Mk Vb, AB184 "Joe II" which was with 332 Squadron in 1942. Decals are from Vingtor. I have used Xtracolor, Tamiya and Vallejo paint for airbrushing. Humbrol enamels are used for painting details. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Looking real sweet! Excellent weathering aft the exhaust-pipes! How did you do that? I usually replace the barrels for this kit but yours look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totto Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi. The weathering aft of the exhaust-pipes was done with Humbrol and pigment powder. I started with drybrushing different shades of Humbrol. Then I applied pastel powder and used a slightly damp brush to remove some of it. After sealing it with a gloss cote i could repeat the prosess until it looked ok. A little pastel was used after the satin finish to end the prosess. And i forgot to say that I replaced the barrels with metal barrels from Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanuszPL Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Beautifully made ​​Spitfire. Although the network is full of Spitfire, but interesting are the models with personal emblems. In addition, one victory on AB184 achieved O. Djonne (Do-217 08/19/42 Dieppe), Norwegian ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Very real looking, with lots of subtle detail that reveal a an observant eye. Nice to see the elevators droop a bit – very true to the original. Quality modelling! Kind regards,Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
