The Spit's looking good.
I've had a few tins of Humbrol paint like that recently, so thin they're more like water colours.

Thanks...the plane is actually finished now and I'm making the beaching gear before the final shots.

Re: Barry Spit on floats
That's it, I'm done now. Scratchbuilt beaaching gear, canopy from a Heller mk V. An interesting addition to my growing Spitfire collection.

Re: Barry Spit on floats
I somehow doubt anyone it going to believe that is the PM kit without seeing this thread. Another masterstroke Barry.

Stunning. I keep looking at the beautiful colors, smooth paint and overall excellent result. I do like your open cockpit.
And it's nice to see a floating Spit for once.

Re: Barry Spit on floats *Finished*
Thanks....You know, for a short lived little project this one was, it amazing how much variety there is to be modeled: The very early mk I, the several configurations of the mk V and then the mk IX's.
