AIRFIX 1/72 SPITFIRE PR. XIX

[Guest]

Looks like you've done wonders on those wing roots!

[Guest]

Thanks Doug & Francesco! If I went in real close with the camera, you'd see a few depressions where the filler shrank & I didn't notice until I started painting!

Looks good to me Patrick. 1/72 is fiddly, I'll admit that as primarily a 1/72 builder. You're doing a fantastic job.

[Guest]

Thank you Joe! Knowing how good your builds are, that's high praise for this amateur!

Nice choice Patrick. You'll enjoy this. I have a permanently cleared mind and am always disconnected because I model in 1/72. Not a grey hair nor wrinkle on me.

We've only got your word for that Joe.Who knows how old your photo is?!!.

[Guest]

[Guest]

Enough from the cheap seats.

An update on this one, firstly a few thin coats of Future as a gloss coat & then the decals. They went down very nicely

& hardly needed any Microsol.

Then a wash with thinned oils, and a black pencil to pick out any lines that were missed. The exhaust stains couldhave come out better, but that's what I get for rushing!

Finally an experiment in prop blur as this Spit will be posed in flight. I'd hoped the black would be less opaque, but my finger was a tad too heavy on the AB trigger!

That looks fantastic Patrick, your prop looks pretty good too.

[Guest]

That looks excellent!! I really like the final tone after the oil wash!

[Guest]

Nice job. these new tool stuff by Airfix do look good after all. The prop looks great too.
