ErikT Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'd say that this site is the home of the Spitfire, because after looking through all the past posts I'm convinced that just about every one of us has built one at one time or another. I'm also convinced that we all may have a problem, and the only cure is more Spitfires! This is another quick build of mine, here for your scrutiny. The kit was one of the newer Airfix sets, and the fit was pretty good overall. Not as much detail as I would have liked, but still a more than adequate kit. The decals had a bit of silvering, despite being set over a glossy surface and using lots of setting solution. They were also the tiniest bit out of register, which you can just make out with the wing roundels. Finished with Tamiya acrylics and Abteilung oils for weathering. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Robin Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 You have nailed the "care worn, battle weary" finish on your lovely little model. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Thanks for the comments, everyone! I admit to a soft spot for both the Spitfire and the BF-109. I have both models in all three scales of 1/48, 1/72, and 1/144. Now to find some space so I can purchase, build, and display the same two in 1/32 scale!
