stevej60 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hi folk's as hinted at in chat I'm partnering the 109F with Airfix's same era Spitfire VB with the vokes filter and desert scheme.I also built this kit earlier in the year and enjoyed every minute so for later in the GB here's whats in the box this one is an earlier boxing but the seller had photo's off the decal sheet which is mint. it still builds well and looks like a Spitfire. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Evening all.primed this morning and today the azure blue applied then shaded a little with a darker mix.Prop painting nearly finished and wheels after painting had a wash dropped in and a bit of North African dust dry brushed onto the tyres. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too Tony even the vokes filter never spoiled the look of the Spitfire.The decals looked new but destroyed themselves as soon as they hit water one of the BM massive has come to the rescue with a spare set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got hold of a boxless Vb for a song that I might* squeeze into the GB. I have a decal sheet from an Italeri kit with a desert option. * he says, having not even touched his Amiot, and don't even go there with the MTO III LeO... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
