Airfix 1/24 Supermarine Spitfire MK VB

[Alan 45]

well after my bout of illness ive had the chance to start this and as requested I'm doing a build thread

The kit looks pretty straight forward and is a typical old tool airfix with lots of flash to remove ,

I'm going to build this in the simplest way I know with just the essentials added [ATTACH]93882.IPB[/ATTACH]

I'm also doing this one for the sig.Im interested to see which parts you have to leave off the engine to get the covers to fit.

[Alan 45]

Main parts of the office built , no real problems here just a bit of flash but lacking in detail I think

Painting has begun and a wash added to the inside of the office , just got to wait now for past to dry before adding a dry brush so I can release the detail [ATTACH]93921.IPB[/ATTACH]

[Alan 45]

So all parts painted and dry brushed to show the detail , I could do more to it but you wouldn't see it so I've left it out
