FatFlyHalf Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Nice one. Spitfires in 1/72 are so good to try out your skills as there a hundreds to choose from. On the next one have a go at adding the cockpit framing (I use water-based acrylics and a VERY fine brush - and a steady hand - for this as it's easier to 'fettle' the frame to tidiness with a cocktail stick). It makes such a difference. FFH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
