Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Spitfire, with the base coat of Xtracrylix XA1002 Dark Earth. And with paper masks which are stuck on with Copydex, ready for a coat of Xtracrylix XA1001 Dark Green. And with the undersurfaces painted using Xtracrylix XA1007 Sky Bf109, with basic painting complete. All paints by Lifecolor: UA502 RLM 71, UA503 RLM 65 and UA504 RLM 02. I have to do some minor touch ups, notably on the canopy framework and the tail of the 109, then I can start mottling. Hopefully I'll be in a position to decal them next weekend.

Deacon Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Catching up on some threads as I have been out of the loop for a while. This is a cracking looking double build Enzio and I am really looking forward to the next update. Well done sir. Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Just a minor update. The 109 with the mottle applied and a wash of Promodeller Dark Wash. In the photo I posted at the beginning of this thread, it looks as though the aircraft has a very heavy overspray of 71 behind the number, possibly where the aircraft had been renumbered. There is little mottling around the fuselage Balkenkreuz. I have attempted to replicate both aspects of the camouflage. It's surprising how much the mottling darkens the scheme, which I suppose was the whole idea. Next step - gloss varnish and decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Another quick update to let you all know how much fun I'm having! Okay, there's an inteloper in there. They look like toys at the moment, but that's because of the high gloss Klear finish. I'll deal with that later. The Southern Expo decals are a joy to use.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 They are up on their gear. Should be finished for next weekend. The next stage will be matt varnish to take away the toylike appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Finished! And just in time. Dunno what's going on with these photos. The model looks as though it's really dusty with a tea stain on the port wing. It's not and it hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Enzo you made a better job of your spit than I did of mine. Well done Very kind of you to say so, Mish. But I would say "horses for courses". Mine is a very static representation of the aircraft. Yours is pure action! Besides, I reckon we had equal amounts of fun building them, which is the whole point of the hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Long Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 As the great nephew of Ron Berry I would like to thank you for your skills in capturing the spirit of the spitfire. I hope this year to go and see one of the Spitfires he flew, that now resides in the Malta Air Museum, Regards Martin Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 As the great nephew of Ron Berry I would like to thank you for your skills in capturing the spirit of the spitfire. Thank you Martin. That means a lot. I hope this year to go and see one of the Spitfires he flew, that now resides in the Malta Air Museum, Regards Martin Long Ooh! Tell me more! It would be good to build another of his Spitfires and display them together. In fact, that would be a suitable build for the forthcoming Malta GB.
