Beard Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Good to see Spitfires getting finished. How are you going to replicate the exhausts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 I think I will be using black decals for the exhausts. Cracking on with the 1/48 Masked Sprayed Unmasked I do like the Xtracrylics, just the right consistency to spray straight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 And more filler on K5054, trying to replicate the puttied and sanded appearance of the original. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Decals, undercarriage and aerials on. Looking like a Spitfire now. Edited November 10, 2017 by John_W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Almost there. My mat varnish is a little satin, but my airbrush nozzle is kaput as well. Need to finish the prop and ad rear view mirror and will call it done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Calling the 1/48 done. Leaving the satin finish as is. Scratch built two rear view mirrors... Will take some better pictures in daylight. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
