Fifer54 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm toying with the idea of building a 1/72 representation of the Spitfire prototype, using the Airfix Mk.1 as a base. I know what needs to be done. It's the exhausts that are a sticking point. My paint skills aren't up to painting the exhaust ports on, so I thought of using decals! Being a lazy sod, I'll take a shortcut to this, so does anyone know of a ready-made suitable decal that would make this job easy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I did see exactly that done recently on either this or one of the other forums I lurk on, if you can find said thread you might be able to blag some printed 'xorst ports out of them. I'll see if I can find. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Aha, found it, closer to home than I thought too but a little older than I had remembered though maybe I read it more recently than that. Perhaps a PM to Rick brown would work for you Gaz. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Chaps. Not sure I have any left! I'll dig about and look this weekend. I may have to run some more off, but my old printer died and I'm not sure the new one's up to it! Rick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Spitfire sure is purty . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsprop Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I can give Rick a big +1 for the decals he emailed me! Printed them off onto some decal paper and they definitely look the part http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234948281-fifty-shades-of-green-spitfire-conversion/ Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
