Madman33 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi everyone, my first build for perhaps nearly 30 years having just got back into it! Could not start without going back to my roots and building a Spitfire having served in the RAF for many years. The build is a Revell at 1:72 so nothing special or tricky to do although this is the first attempt at any sort of weathering and finer detail stuff. I'm still building my accessories up and paints so pretty basic attempt I imagine. I have now bought an airbrush although not had the time (ie when my wife is away) to give it a go! Anyway, it was great fun to build over many weeks little bit here and there getting stuff out and putting it back again. I served through the Cold War and have an interest in Vietnam as well as WWII so there's plenty of scope and kits that interest me. Great to be back! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Welcome back! It looks like a very nice build, from what can be gleaned from the thumbnails. 😉 I'd love to see the photos a wee bit larger. No, a lot larger, please! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Nice Spitfire, great job. Painting without an airbrush is much more fun. Welcome. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
