Eduard spitfire mk IXc late version

[eddiesolo]

Anyone know if I can give the Vallejo primer a light rum down once it's gone off? It's had one dust coat and two light coats... Also how Lind shall I wait if I can rub down gently 12 hrs? Or more?

I tend not to rub down my primer coat, but you should be fine in a couple of hours to give it a light sand and clean.

Really need some practice with the airbrush! I have about as much steadiness as a 90 year old woman, was a bit nervous to be honest as I new my first final coat was coming up. Also the underneath looks too dark I think although I like it, I'm not sure whether to lighten it or leave what do people think

If you are happy with it then leave it, trust me the more you faff then the more it will go wrong. If, you think it is too dark once all done, just put it down to experience and move onto the next build.


Looks okay to me.

Yeah, not great with tech. Thanks for the comment Dougie I'll take a closer look when putting on the next pics, cheers

Right Click on the photos. Select Open with "Windows Live Photo Gallery" ......... You'll find down the bottom a cople of icons to rotate the photos. Then save them after you've done........ Your "spit" is looking great ......... and welcome to the forum.

Thanks Si I think I will leave it otherwise I will ruin it knowing my luck, like you say I think I'll go with the flow and whatever happens happens for my first build.


Thanks takeslousyphotos I having posting through iPhone but realised today that if I take a photo upside down it turns out ok... weird

Hard to tell from the photo if your underside grey is too dark, but the Spitfire looks good so far. Pre shade shows through, so possibly not too dark.

Hi guys first attempt of masking and the top of the plane is painted, quite happy with the results for my first attempt, thanks for everyone's help on the masking thread and I'll promise I'll take some decent pictures if it turns out ok, next step camo!

Looking good, despite the defying gravity shots...

I agree but the best shots of a spit are when at the top of the loop then diving for the attack


Hahahahaha

This is looking a cracking spitfire project


I love the clean lines you have achieved, can't wait for more pics

Hi guys, so I just started rolling and adding blue tack for camo paint session and I'm filling in with masking tape. Basically it's gonna take a while, I certainly don't want to rush and ruin anything so my question is... will it be safe to leave as is with blue tack and tape till tomorrow night or will problems occur?


Sorry for another hand holding question but as I keep saying I'm a newbie

Should be okay for a day or two Phil. Don't leave it on for too long though or you will get a residue if your base colour is a matt finish.

This is looking really good ........ I'm looking forward to the finished job.

Nice job. However, as Joe said, don't leave it on too long. This especially specific for the canopy.
