mike romeo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hi, Just finished my Spitfire. Nice kit, although some of the parts are packed very close together and need care removing from the sprues. Added some AM seat belts and decals but otherwise oob. And I believe the spinner spiral may be going the wrong way. That's the way its printed on the sheet, tho'. https://www.flickr.com/photos/182178379@N02/shares/29X9wR https://www.flickr.com/photos/182178379@N02/shares/7SX485 https://www.flickr.com/photos/182178379@N02/shares/3SE821 Hope you like it.

All the best Chris Thanks, Chris. Photos show the aircraft to be heavily used, so I tried to weather it a bit and it came out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only noticed it before adding the decals,........ like you,....if I`d heard about it afterwards I would have just left it,......and believe me,.....I wished I had when I was wielding the tiny brush loaded with yellow paint! Made me feel for the blokes who did it for real. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Don't know if you're interested, but it was painted with Tamiya rattle can RAF colours using paper masks made by photocopying at a larger scale the painting instructions.
