Terry1954 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Very neat indeed. I especially love the subtle weathering. The upper camouflage brown and grey look superb. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Superb! The finish has a real sun-bleached look to it, which makes it look very realistic to me. Great building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Pritt Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Great work, very realistic build! 👍 I've finished the Airfix version a while ago (horrible kit), but doesn't remotely look as good as yours. Excellent finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Oh yes! I think I have just seen the best scheme ever worn on a Spitfire. Wonderful weathering for a genuine used worn look 👍👍👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ... the colours were mixed using different shades that I regrettably cannot recall right now as the model was painted back in jan but the final assembly finished only a month back . That said , I can recall using gunze red-brown as the base for the brown which I then lightened by using deck tan . Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arubin Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi, I am also working on this particular model. I am a little confused by Eduard's instructions on Page 13. This relates the structure in the midline on the underside of the plane (I don't even know what to call it). I seems that you can either leave it out or use one of two options. I see that you have used the smaller option B12. None of the pictures of the various paint schemes includes this piece at all. I have the kit for Eduard's 1/48 version of exactly the same plane and that does not even include the piece at all. It is also not in the AZ version of the Mk IX Spitfire. Does anyone know what it is and when it should be used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It is what is known as a "slipper" fuel tank, a more aero dynamic fuel tank that could be fitted when extended range was required. If you want to be 100 Percent accurate you would have to find picture of the aircraft you are modelling with the tank fiitted, or its up to you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barak1 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Superb build!! I like it very much. Will ry to do the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pete Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Very nice. The old girl looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet a few times. I've never tried and Eduard kit but I looked in the box of a Spit last time I was in the LHS... Scared me to death! It had more parts than your average B52! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the part count is quite high but around 30-40% of those are not used . They crammed in loads of parts for variants and options . 7 hours ago, John D.C. Masters said: Wonderful! What did you use as a chipping medium? Thanks , I used normal table salt as chipping mask . What I did was first paint the surface in aluminium color ; I then wetted the surface very lightly and sprayed salt on it in a random manner . Sprayed the top coat and then removed the salt to reveal the underneath aluminium paint . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arubin Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The Eduard kit seems great value and goes together really well. The other Mark IX kit that I am familiar with is the AZ which needs more work but can still turn out a decent looking result. The main problem with the EZ is that if you do not want cut down wings you have to shave down the wing and glue on the elliptical tip end to end.
