celt Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This model was for a French build for a model club.I am unable to make it due to car troubles,so I thought I would post it here.As is my usual it is is painted with a hairy stick with acrylic paints and it is mounted on a home made stand.I know it is not up to the standard of the models on this forum,but I enjoyed making it even though it was a Spitfire and French.The model has just been finished thats why it appears glossy in the photos. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think it looks great, Nice to see a Spitfire in more unusual markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Silly me. Misread the title and expected to see a Spitfire in a tartan camo scheme. I know, Gallic and Gaelic are very different and my only excuse is stupidity. C'est bon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did better than I did: I read it as "garlic" and I was expecting a Spitfire with a dead Vampire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
