1/48 Spitfire F XIVe highback and FR XIVe bubbletop - one complete Dec 04 - new photo's

[Tail-Dragon]

My dual Spitfire build continues, with the decaling done (at last)

I've used Xtradecals 48130 Spit Mks XIV-XVIII, X023-48 Squadron codes, Aviaeology A0D48C05 Serial No.s, andA0D48009m Stencils.

Flat coat, weathering, and final construction next ...

 

 

 

 Hope you like so far

My Spitfire XIVe highback is complete, still finishing the bubbletop.

Here's a few photo's of the highback (as a teaser), I'll post more photo's 'ready for inspection' when I get a chance, and photo's of the bubbletop when complete.

Hope you like,

Colin

That looks fantastic Colin. What paints did you use?

[Tail-Dragon]

Thanks, I used Tamiya acrylics (XF81 to XF 83) gloss coated with Future and weathered with Humbrol enamels and pastel chalk, flat coated with Tamiya acrylic XF86.

Lovely work.

May I ask what vacform canopy you used on the highback (apologies if I missed the reference in your thread).

Cheers,

Thanks, I used the Rob Taurus Spitfire Mk IX canopy. 

I had to add an interior framework on the windscreen and sliding canopy, build up the aft fixed canopy sill, also a fillet below the windscreen.

Thank you. Rob Taurus make excellent canopies, I used one for my 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XIX.
