John Masters Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Here they are! I was very happy with both, especially one I came closer to finishing them. In terms of weathering, Black 89 has some sandy FloryWash and a little bit of black FloryWash to bring out the panel lines, especially underneath. White 26 just has the black. Decals on both kits were a cinch and it is interesting to notice the different sides of blue used by each company for the Mogen David. I much prefer the Eduard, yet the KoPro has that touch of indigo that makes them not so much blue as...well, kind of purple. Speaking of blue, I am happy that the Blue-Grey camo colour comes off as more if a very dark blue/black once it is paired with the sand and then weathered a bit. While the Eduard kit is more finely engineered than the KoPro, I still am very fond of these KoPro kits. They offer a no-nonsense Spitfire with a wide variety of markings if one looks at the whole of the KoPro catalogue. Eduard does too, but they seem to be more specific (D-Day, Aussie 8, etc...) Both kits are worth building and investing in. A happy modeller am I. Here is the WiP thread... How about some pictures? Maybe I should build more Messerschmitts...? --John 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Excellent work 👍 Ive always had an interest in the Sand/Blue camouflage. Ive never quite understood why they opted for the blue ? Ive read one theory that these were former Swedish aircraft that had blue camouflage ? But I've never been able to verify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Excellent pair of Spits! Glad to hear your opinion of the KoPro kit, as I now have one in my stash (a Vc variant if I recall correctly). Nice work on both, anyway. 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks Kapam. I've built their Vc and it is pretty good. Some minor finagling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealParkes Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Good looking duo you have built, the Eduard kit really does have nice surface detail doesn’t it? I love the markings too, nice job all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to be very careful with clean-up so as to not erase rivets, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
