iceman98 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hello, I am new in scale modeling. I used this kit (Dual Spitfire Combo) to gain some experience in airbrushing and basic techniques (I had an accident with one of the roundels but actually looks good). For painting the PRU Spitfire I used Tamiya and AK 3rd gen acrylics (camo). For weathering I used Winsor & Newton and Abteilung oil paints (raw amber for fuel leaks, ivory black for smoke, dark rust for oil leaks and zinc white + raw umber for dust effect), also I used AK's paneliner for grey and blue camo. For the metallic base for chipping I used AK's true metal silver. I pre shaded the model with black color. I would like to ask for some advice since I am new to the hobby. Now I can restart working on the Eduard's 1/48 Fw 190 D9,I also have on hold a 1/48 Kinetic F 16 Block 52+. Bonus Pics: 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I believe this is only your second build, and already an improvement over the first ! Well done and keep up the good work ! Wulfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Very nice result Some points from my experience: - it's easy to overdo weathering and chipping, so feel free to start a WIP thread & use the forums to find references. Start light, you can always add more later. - the infamous red crowbar strikes again actually, if it was present, it should be grey/metal or interior green. Red is post-war. There are many knowledgeable folks here who will help with questions you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
