Andy Evans Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for all the great feedback folks, really appreciated. I'm just putting the finishing touches to the next contestant, an Airfix P-51 Mustang. I'll post pictures in a couple of days. Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed! Thanks for that, an excellent rendition of the Spitfire. Well done 👍 Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Evans Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Couple of better pictures. Had to close the shutter right down to get the depth of field which means killing the prop blur a bit. I'll figure it out one day !

I'll figure it out one day ! That’s a lovely finish on this little spit. If I’m dropping the shutter speed but still want a more visible prop blur I reduce the rate it spins, it can take a few goes but normally helps give the result you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes_Man Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Lovely work there, I have one on my stash I've been meaning to get to once I can be bothered to fill the panel lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 1:1 scale plastic model Spitfire at BDAC. The moulds were taken from a Mk IX. It is in 3 pieces, fuselage, and the wings. As it is on the ground it is easy for me to photograph... The A/C will go on a pillar on the left side of Castle Road in Salisbury, just in front of the old Spitfire factory where all the first series Griffon Engined Spitfires were built. More about its build and arrival here.. https://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/18633045.milestone-secret-spitfires-memorial-salisbury/ There are no distinct pannel line to be seen once you get more than a few meters away. Photos to follow. So yes, almost all of the panel lines need to go on any kit. But perversely, the pinked edge of the fabric on the elevators is clear to be seen!
