1 year modelling Spitfire Comparisons


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Just a quick one from me, I started modelling a year or so ago with the Airfix Starer set. I had no kit, only what was in the box. My first attempt is attached!

Roll on 1 year, I have bought some basic equipment including a basic spray gun, and practiced with about 4 builds.

 

I took a lot of time over my most recent build, the Supermarine Seafire - It is no where near 99% of the models on here, but for me it shows with some practice and basic equipment, how one can progress.

 

Pics in post below.

Welcome to Britmodeller and I'm glad to hear that you're making progress. However, no pics are showing for me.

Here's a comprehensive guide to how to post pictures:

Good luck!

Excellent progression in a year. Well done!

 

You clearly have the ability to develop your skills and learn from what you've done.  Keep your first model, it will always have a special place in your heart.

 

BTW, I suggest you edit your original post to remove the duff pictures and refer people down the page. The grey rectangles don't encourage a reader to carry on, which would be a shame.

Welcome. Two really nice models, well done. You clearly have the modelling "skill gene", but be warned, this is a very obsessive Hobby!

Thanks for the kind words all! Much appreciated.

 

The Spit is brush painted, the Seafire is airbrushed with my new friend 'Mr Colour Levelling thinner' - This made a huge difference to my spray ability. Took a lot of time to begin to even have a basic grasp of using the airbrush.

 

Red arrow or Mk 4 Mustung is my next decision!

Love how much progress you've made between the Spitfire I and the Seafire Mk 46 (?).

Looks like a Mk.XVII - 4-bladed prop vs the contra-prop unit on the Mk.46. And it has the classic elliptical wings compared to the modified wing tip shape of the Spit 21/22/24 & Seafire 45/46/47 series aircraft

Very well done indeed :goodjob: - if you've this far in just one year, I'm really looking forward to seeing how far you've progressed next year! :winkgrin:

 

And - as others have said - keep the first one and display it with pride - it's Genesis! :D

 

Cheers :bye:

That is quite the progression in a year isn’t it? However your first build is nothing to be ashamed of, I wish my first builds were as good. Anyway the Seafire certainly looks the part, well finished too! Please keep posting you work, I’d love to see where you are in a year’s time.
