cger 1,032 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Hi all,Here are a few pictures of my last completed build. It is the ICM Spit VIII kit, build as a SEAC Spit from the 152 Sq. based in Burma. I used a Barracuda Studio decal sheet for the markings.The cockpit was enhanced with a few leftover bits from an Aires resin set, the spinner and propeller blades are from Ultracast. I also riveted the airframe with a riveting wheel. I added the lovely Austin Tilly kit from Tamiya and two resin figures from Jaguar, painted with Vallejo acrylics. The PSP plates are photo etched things from ExtraTech, weathered with pigments and oil paints. The wooden revetment is done with coffee stirrers. I hope you will like it, regards, Christian.

Wolwe82 2,681 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 thats amazing stuff O.o Link to post Share on other sites
Miggers 1,610 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very nice indeed. Carefully weathered(no big thick black panel lines)Spit,just dull faded and dirty, a superbly done Tilly and two very life-like figures. Absolutely spot-on. SEAC Spits are not usually my bag,but well done cger,I love it. Link to post Share on other sites

tonyot 33,971 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thats a fantastic diorama with a beautiful Spitfire and outstanding figures,......the Tilly is great too but it looks a bit out of place to me? It is brilliant though,......very nice indeed, Cheers Tony Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Jones 700 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Fantastic Spitfire , those ICM kits do build up well with a little care , superbly finished , but ditch the Tilly, The RAF did not use Austins and RAF vehicles in combat zones would not be Blue-Grey, but rather would be camouflaged.
