SimonL Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Here is my entrant for the Spitfire group build in memory of Edgar Brooks, it is also the first kit I have finished in months (been going through a bit of a dry spell). Apologies for the quality of the photos, couldn't take them outside as I normally do as the weather is not cooperating. Completed straight out of the box, SX273 of 714 NAS, St Merryn, England, 1947. Brush painted with Tamiya Acrylics. A very enjoyable build. WIP here. Hopefully a fitting memorial to a very generous and knowledgable man who is very much missed. Any comments welcomed. Cheers, Simon 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony Many thanks Tony, I was just about to dig the colours out for you :-) I looked back at my old posts and found that Edgar and given me several pieces of useful advice - including on some Malta Spitfires I built last year, always a tricky subject!
