Andy Dyck Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well hi all, I finished my Spitfire the some weeks ago. The eduard kit is really nice , except the construction of the wheelbay. Totally overconstructed…. Too many parts for a simple thing, without any sense. Same as on P-51 and all the others. But nevertheless I had much fun with the paintjob and the weathering! But enough waffling, please enjoy the pictures! Have a nice weekend Andy 71 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 This looks absolutely wonderful, you've done a great job on the paint and weathering Andy and I love the backdrop too. Great work and photos. Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullac2001 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Love the diorama , well done looks stunning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 This is outstanding! I love the diorama and the figure. With the backdrop I could almost believe this was a real aircraft. Plus it's a camo scheme after my own heart! 😆 How did you do the dusty wheels? That's an area I really could improve on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it will help Andy Edited March 21, 2022 by Andy Dyck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
