Completed Spitfire XVI

Thats a valid point Steve, Im sure that in the war a lot of the camo was put on with a paint brush and would have left a clear defined line as your photos show. Hey Aaron, that picture above looks just like your model in B&W

They were sprayed and the regulations determining the finish were very strict. The surface finish contributes a significant percentage of the overall drag of an aeroplane.

I believe,and there is plenty of evidence to support this,that they were masked and sprayed.

It is only fair to say that others maintain that these demarcations were possible without masking when applied by skilled sprayers.

Cheers

Hi Steve, It's 1:48.

As to the camo i feel it wasnt "wavey" enough is some spots, due to rushing the masking.

Those b&w shots are awesome ill pinch them lol

Thanks for all the input im not sure whats next on the bench for me
