Redboost Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hasegawa kit converted to FR Mk IX standard built within our modelling club "Spitfire IX theme build". PRU Pink mixed as suggested in the excellent thread elsewhere on this forum, although maybe still too pink, but I like it anyway Cheers Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Beautiful build and finish, i love the underside staining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm no expert Libor, but I'd say the pink is just about right, nicely faded so it doesn't shout at you. Great job on the canopy too, it really sparkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul A H Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I just assumed this was 1/48 - had to do a double take! Absolutely lovely finish and the weathering is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piltdown Man Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What a fantastic paint job and weathered finish. But the canopy is brilliant. Would you tell how you us how you finished the canopy - I'd love to know. PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptmvarsityfan Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Lovely build and that understated pink finish is superb, pink finishes can often look over exagerrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
