1/72 Airfix Red Star Trio: VVS Lend-Lease Spitfire, Hurricane and P-40B

[ProfSparks]

Hi All

 

Grey Flory (Concrete) sloshed on

 

And most of it wiped of again.

 

 

I've left them slightly dirtier than i would normally, as these were in quite harsh conditions.

 

Final sticky-out bits stuck on, and the props placed on to see how they look,

 

They're off to a W&N Matt Coat party and will be left to dry before the canopy masking comes off.

 

 

Comments and suggestions welcome

 

Cheers

Hi All

 

The little bits'n'pieces have been fitted, and they're ready for RFI once it stops being Biblical outside.

 

The Spitfire got aerial wire

 

 

The Hurricane got landing lights

 

 

And the P40 got side windows

 

 

 

All in all quite straight forward builds, even if the moulds span the decades!

 

The decals are of particular note; the Spitfire "538 Star EP210" are all on one piece of backing film, as are the "Slogan Star 60" on the sides of the Hurricane. They settled straight down on a diluted Pledge puddle, and disappeared completely under a Matt coat.

 

 

Anyhoo, thanks for coming with, see you on the next one.
