1/24 MkI Spitfire (Airfix)

[andymoore]

Here's my latest build - the old Airfix 1/24 MkI Spitfire. Paints used were vallejo model air & the matt coat was humbrol acrylic matt rattle can.

plenty of mistakes to be seen here - the rear view mirror is missing as I've put it somewhere safe, I have no idea where that safe place is !

Biggest problem I had with this one was the decals, I reckon the water I used was too cold, this caused them to shatter as I applied them to the model, and so I had to go ahead & give here some severe weathering.

WIP is available here

Thanks for looking
