AIRFIX 1/72 SPITFIRE PR. XIX

[flyjoe180]

As far as the new-tool stuff from airfix goes, I'm disappointed with the FW190 A-8 I'm doing now - it's a dog!

Uh oh, why is that Patrick? I was thinking of building this one soon.

I really enjoy seeing Spitfires done in other colors than the RAF. This one has a great color with very distinct panel lines. Love the weathering and chipping. Great build.

Great work Patrick the pre-shading looks very good and i really do like the spinning prop effect

Joe, it's the fit at the front causing the problems as per the pics below :

The issues are small, but unnecessary IMHO. The machine gun cowling needed sanding at the rear to fit at all & you can see the engine cowling ring doesn't fit right.

Maybe I've got a Friday afternoon one!

Ray & Ian thanks so much, the prop was a bit of an experiment, but I think it worked out well
