this is my last MWP project ( Metal Work Panels ) based on the Trumpeter kit Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb 1:24 scale model (already assembled) .
This model is only experimental and not historical . The squadron insignia are only illustrative and should not be considered as reference .
To achieve the metallic coating I used the ultra-thin aluminum metal tape by applying the MWP procedure
To complete the study , it took several time ( about a year) .
I completely dismantled , stripped and reconditioned an already kit assembled a long time ago and that
It would need a strong restoration.
I upgraded the model with new and interesting accessories such as flaps and lowering mechanisms implemented by MasterCasters PE and Hispano 20mm cannons produced by Air Master metal and brass just to mention some details .
Even the engine Rolls Royce Merlin was more detailed and completed in the parts missing or incorrect .
The canopy has been updated with the riveting of HGW (wet transfer )
The project helped me to experiment with new techniques and use new materials on the metal thus implementing the MWP technique that is now mature
to be used on any model of any scale and age .
