112 Squadron Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 You did excellent polished metal finish which makes this Air Racing Spitfire looking particulary attractive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to use Humbrol out of convenience, I've used rattlecan Metalcote before and found it good to work with, but I was wondering if such a Spit would be "polished aluminium" or "polished steel".

Paulaero Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Always been standard D type on silver Spitfires, don't know how Airfix would put WW 1 A Type roundels in, Mind you I have just had a F2A Lightning delivered with Blue and Yellow checks for 92 Sqn !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
