Revell 1:32 Spitfire Mk. 1

[Guest]

The area, into which the leg goes, does not have a roof, and isn't totally enclosed; there's a sort-of wall at the rear, but the front is totally open, so there's no need to have a loop of plastic going over the well.

Incidentally, the kit is older than you think; it was Revell's first foray into 1/32 aircraft, and I built my first (at a price of 19/11d) during the early 1960s.

Actually I think this is a 1970's kit - I am sure I built it in the early 70's, probably 1971 in fact - it was among the first 32 scale Revell released.

Hah - crossed post, Edgar says even earlier than me.

What pressure you using with the vallejo paint? i use about 10 to 15 psi nice and steady coating and controllable.

Hope this helps

Hi Tony

It does seem this kit is a bit of a challenge due to it's age. Persevere with it though I'm sure you'll get a great looking Spit out of it. The scratch wheel wells look good but the reference from Edgar is outstanding. Shouldn't be too difficult to alter the scratch build parts.

I'm actually coming round to the idea of giving this kit a go too so I'm very interested in your build.

best of luck, and keep up the great work

Ps. Yes, you want model color not model air for brush painting
