Spitfire Mk.IXe 'Beer Barrels'

[Guest]

Thanks chaps!

I painted a matt varnish coat, this evening will start to mask all the plane. Will go for my Tartan version...so I have many work to do yet

[Guest]

Ok, guys!

The first stage/masking is ready.

My intention is build a weathered plane. So I do a chipping effect on every square, one by one....

At the moment, I really pleased with the result, under every square there are five coats of painting, and don't lose the details on the plane.

Primer coat

Alumminium paint

Varnish matt

(hair laquer/chipping effect)

Colour coat

Varnish matt again

Love it Polux, going to be a very colourful beast when it's done. After all this time glad to see the tartan Spitfire making its debut

I agree with Joe. Polux nice to see the tartan Spitfire, great work so far looking forward to more.

[Guest]

Thank you very much for the comments guys!!

Cheers

[Guest]

All the squares are finished.

I'm feel strange now.... I'm so pleased with the work I have done, but think the Spitfire is not guilty of my 'eccentricities' .....

Thanks

Amazing paint job Polux! I dread to think how many hours of masking was involved in that

Well Polux it is certainly different but in a strange way looks so good, job well done on the tartan

Hi Polux,

I think this looks great, just how long did it take you to do all the masking...

Andy...

[Guest]

My excuses to the most classical modellers....

If all you are losing the patience and asking yourself: “what is doing this guy, with the poor Spitfire...?”

I have no answer to that.... and I don’t exactly if all that will go anywhere too.....

But can say, I really enjoy playing and trying new things on it

Love to learn, sorry!!

Regards
