Spitfire31 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 A Spitfire that really looks like a Spitfire, with convincing finish and weathering. Top marks! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Beautiful work on a classic kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Really nice result. Convincing colours and nice weathering. The shape looks good too. As I recall, the wing is a little thick on that kit, particularly the trailing edge - yours looks not too bad, did you do some work on it?

As I recall, the wing is a little thick on that kit, particularly the trailing edge Hi Malcolm The old tool Tamiya kit is a funny beast, from the angles you often see wartime shots, it look good, but it has some pretty serious shape errors if you are a spit-o-phile see here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234968337-two-148-mkvb-spitfires-tamiya-and-airfix-new-spitfire-collection-expansion-project-finished-photos-now-in-the-rfi-section-080615/&page=3 for details, and some corrections. the actual kit is very neat, assembles well, sort of Tamiya slammer they are famous for. Not meant to be in any way a criticism of @Barbouille model which is a lovely piece of work, very well built and painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Troy Apologies all round here - I had it I'm my mind for some reason that it said Airfix Old Tool! 😳 Anyway it is a nice job. Like the linked build.
