Last one for the year - Airfix 1:72 Spitfire IIA


Recommended Posts

Belated seasons greetings to one and all. All enthused after my Spitfire prototype build I started work on a Spitfire IIA and Spitfire 22 - only to leave them part built for the best part of 4 months due to heavy work commitments. With a bit of time on my hands over Christmas I pushed on and finished the IIA. It is put together from the parts left over from the a previous Spitfire Mk 1A build using the decals from Xtradecal sheet X72075 do represent a machine from 303 (Polish) Squadron RAF Northholt June/July 1941. Brush painted with Tamiya acrylics, made a little grubby with oils and then finished with a rattle can of Tamiya Matt Clear. Apologies for the rather wobbly photos from my phone!

I really like your choice of a lighter brown color, I also use a color like that for British camos

 

Thanks - although I think it may just be a trick of the light. Its my regular brown for RAF WW II  camouflage - Tamiya XF-52 (Flat Earth).
