Simon Nonymous Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Welcome to 1940. You'll see a Mk. I Hurricane in some of these - there will be a separate post for that good lady of the skies shortly. Both great kits, all the dodgy bits are my own doing, but both recommended. The Tamiya Spitfire was my second tangle with photo etched parts (which come with the kit) and yes, they do add depth to it, even if you can't always spot it at most angles. Any criticism welcome, any questions re how I did them, fire away. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Bob All acrylics Vallejo Model Air 71.323 BS Dark Earth Vallejo Model Air 71.302 Sky Type S AK Interactive Air AK2011 RAF dark green (I use the vallejo equivalent as well but there was none in stock last time I made an order.) Engine cowlings and exhausts are mixes of Vallejo Metal Color copper and silver Cockpit interior - good old Tamiya XF-71 I make my own shading stuff from oils, replicating the colours seen here but using darker shaded of each colour, ie dark green, dark earth, and sky. It seems to work better than just using a plain black wash to pick out panel lines and other raised details. Hope that helps and thanks for the compliment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 These look great. You can never have too many Spitfires and the Blenheim looks ghe business too. Great work. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Really LOVELY builds (and a little Hurricane tease in there too. I'm heading to that post next!). Are those oversize squadron codes overlaying the fuselage roundels on N3200? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a bit - it's my error as here is a pic of the real thing and there is no overlap: Edited October 7, 2021 by Simon Nonymous I was wrong and found a pic to prove it!

metadyne Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Very neat and tidy models Simon, for a moment I did a double take on the Duxford one's, spotting your one's and theirs, there's not much difference.
