Crane Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Another 'wif' assembled in the middle of other builds. I was inspired by an artist's picture of a lend-lease Spitfire which I mistakenly thought had a top coat of white and Russian green (black paint on top of green paint). Halfway through the top coat, I sort of changed my mind and tried to darken the grey. The decals were gifted to me by a fellow builder here Reini78 - thank you once again! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Excellent build. Like that a lot, especially the appropriate level of weathering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Excellent Spitfire, different looking adorned with those red stars. Perfect finish with convincing, subtle weathering! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I looks, just...weird. But in a really good way. Love the stars and the spinner and the weathering and the white fin and rudder. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crane Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thank you guys. I'm not happy with my silver chipping abilities, so in my case I feel that the effect takes away from the model instead of adding to it. And I agree it is a bit weird, but the colors stopped being a distraction the more I worked on it. I have been looking into picking up another MK IX and going all out with a white and black over dark green scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I love these what ifs. Honestly I bet the Soviets weren’t far off from continuing and you’ve done a real nice clean version. Bravo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
