Paul J Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Finished this one a couple weeks ago having succumbed to the purchase browsing in LIdl. It took me about 10 hours spread out over a few days to make. No extras or any changes to the kit and its straight from the box except I used Xtracrylix paints. I made it just to keep my hand in modelling. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 That looks rather splendid and I notice you didn't bother with the gun patches (or they weren't in the kit), which are right so-and-sos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Nice! But you didn't do the yellow prop tips. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Nice one, Paul. You have done a good job of the painting, and got the camo pattern spot on. I've always liked those oversize DW- codes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris I thought there was something missing when I posted the photos. Easy remedy though. The same with the gun patches tha were commented by 'Beard' above, None in the kit but I can easily apply when I get some more 'brick red' ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None in the kit but I can apply when I get more dull red paint or make a mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I've never managed to make the damn stickers conform with the wing so have a rizla that's been painted red which I cut small squares from and stick over the holes with PVA glue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Ah! The Airfix Spitfire 1. All those panel lines. Margates answer to modelling trench warfare, I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Really nice build - much better than the one I did (must give it another try one day). Your camo turned out brilliantly. 👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
