georgeusa Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Not only am I envious of your building and painting skills and how well you have made this kit look, but your photography and set up for the photo backgrounds are also great. You have skills at both modeling and photography. Thanks for sharing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogtail2 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks, Actually I'm not 100% happy with the photography on my models yet. I need to improve the lighting to make it more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looks great but I would check whether this example has metal or wooden propeller blades as many were wooden or composites so wouldn't show up as silver/metallic when scratched. There was often a metal leading edge but the main blade would be wood. I think this is a topic that is endlessly discussed though The Spitfire question thread undoubtable has multiple discussions about it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blades should be wood, I believe, which I had forgotten, so will tone the wear & tear down a bit on the prop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
