Meatbox8 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Wow. A real stunner. The metal finish is absolutely brilliant. Weathering is terrific too. I've been thinking about building this aircraft for a while (in 1/72). Having seen your model I think I'm going to have to build it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Absolutely beautiful. The weathering is great. Eduard really delivers excellent kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Beauty mate! What a fine looking Spit!! You've nailed the weathering I'd say. Well done all around Manu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manu Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thanks guys, I didn't varnish the bare metal but maybe i will try the AK gauzy agent next time to be abble to use washes diluted with white spirit. The weathering is made with airbrush and with felt tip pens. Cheers, Manu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Masterclass Spitfire! Paint, weathering and detail are all excellent., but the thing is that it all comes together so naturally with nothing standing out more than the other. Superb!
