George72 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Hello! This is my most recent project. Nothing else to add, or praise, regarding this wonderful kit. It is a pleasure to build and everything works just fine, even the decals. Except for the roundels, that I've painted using masks, all others reacted really well to Gunze's Mr Softer. This particular kit represented a Spit in 1940, so perhaps I may have weathered it a little bit too much, for they should have been relatively new then. But, it's done! Hope you'll enjoy! Cheers!

Ian Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Beautifully done, George, great weathering. I'm just finishing the original Tamiya Spitfire Mk.I and it still holds-up well. Best from New Zealand. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulaero Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Weathering looks just fine to me, they might have not been that old but were certainly hard used. Very nice result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
