stevej60 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Hi folk'sgot an early finish so thought I'd get an hour start while the house was quiet! So poured a Malbec and waited till ten. Interior green where applicable. Interior air scoop facings painted black and fitted. Interior paited,dry brushed and detailed,IP decal on and air bottles painted. Wing's assembled after dry brushing details. And first hour gone with seat and wheels now with first coat of paint on,so not a bad start thanks for looking see you around seven AM.

SimonT Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I can't believe you did all that in an hour? It takes me days to get parts off the spruces and to clean them up! Nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thank's all guess who slept in? Anyway re-start at 8AM. Fuselage joined then wing's touch filler here and there after a half hour sanded the joins. Sky applied still wet in the photo Masked and Mr Hobby earth applied which dries quickly so I now amready for the green,while waiting I,ve painted the wheels,prop and canopy framing. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Cheer's Big X,yes me in a minute or so! One coat of Tamiya RAF green has covered beautifully somasking off ready for gloss. Well thinned Humbrol glosscoat dries very quickly so give it till half ten and the main decals will be started,I've two hours left to my deadline but dont leave till one so extra hour to play with still does it in six,Phew! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thank's stix too kind! Right we have what looks like a Spitfire,panic moment when I realised that unlike the late war version nofuselage stripe supplied so out with the tape,dried,glossed,and remaining decal's applied,really just a couple of decal's to dothen matt coat,no wash on her but I will do some exhaust and gun staining if time permit's. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Right I am going to the shops, Steve, is this an Airfix MkII? And who does that sky colour you are using? Did you do pre panel line shading underside or is the panel lines just that good? Thank, know you are a bit busy to be answering questions, but you've made me want to build one completely this afternoon... just back....shop was closed 😓 Edited August 27, 2017 by Valkyrie Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank, know you are a bit busy to be answering questions, but you've made me want to build one completely this afternoon... Again do it! It's the Va boxing but is basically the same Spitfire kit that appears in Airfix's boxes,to be honest the panel lines are too deep so no need for pre shading and don't put a wash in those fuselage lines this was a major criticism of my early attempts at this kit I've now learned my lesson! Anyway last job's done after matt coating radio wire added and a little gun and exhaust staining with sanded pencil dust,great fun thanks for the support I'll have to wait now till tomorrow for gallery shot's.right now I can catch up on everyone else's work 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
