Eduard Spitfire VIII Grey Nurse 1/48 scale


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

here is my last build, a third Eduard Spitfire VIII  from the Aussie Eight combo.  I used one of the many kit schemes from the Grey Nurse 457 Squadron.

I used the Tamiya RAF colors and Gunze for the Foliage Green and RAAF Dark Sea Grey overpaints. 

 

The overpainted Sky band and RAF flag were badly chipped according to pictures, I reproduced the chipping with AK chipping fluid. The weathering was done with Mig Ammo panel washes, Mig pigments and ink pens. I made a small base with polystyrene foam coated with AK textured paint. The red laterite earth is done with various pigments,

 

best,

 

Christian.

Superb, faultless, magnificent. So much going on great finish brilliant weathering, excellant simple display base. The exhaust staining and worn paintwork are just brilliant.:wow:

I really like it, particularly the weathering. You really hit a "Home Run" with the exhaust stains.                              Bob H.
