Jb65rams Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 My final entry is an unplanned build. I visited a 'bricks & motar' model shop for the first time in over year, Monks Bar Model Shop in York, to stock up on some paint & glue. Airfix's new 1/72 Spitfire Vc was on the shelf for £9.99, generally do 1/48 for single engine fighters, but inspired by the box art, who doesn't like a sharkmouth, I caved and bought it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Lovely choice. Looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 It's a really great kit! There are a couple of things to watch with assembling the tub and fitting it to the fuselage, as it can affect the wing root joints. There are several good build threads here on BM (and then there's mine as well!). Looking forward to seeing your progress. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Painting underway. Trying out bluetack worms to try to get a feathered edge. Reasonably happy with the outcome. Just needs a gloss coat and I am ready fro decalling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Spent the day listening to the cricket and the football whilst applying the finishing touches. A nice kit, very enjoyable build. That's that last of my 3 entries completed. Thoroughly enjoyed this GB, nice to go back to basic and build a small kit. Thanks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
