Completed Airfix 1/24 Supermarine Spitfire mkvb

[Alan 45]

I decided to do the tropical version on this for two reasons the first was to see if I can get a decent camo look from pure oil paints and it surprised me that not only is it possible but it looks much more authentic and imo you can only get a better look with an airbrush the second was it looks much cooler in a tropical/desert camo

That looks brilliant Alan, the oil-painted camo is superb. Faded spinner looks spot-on, too.
