Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
Good progress with this pair Andrew. This old Airfix Vb kit still holds up quite well I think.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
More sanding this morning, followed by grey primer.
The undersides are okay. There's still a bit of smoothing to do on top

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
One Spitfire ready for canopy and the final coat of primer.
The other one still needs some polishing, but the cockpit is done.
Cheers

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
The more advanced Spitfire had the canopy mounted. I'll have a couple of small gaps to fill, but nothing serious.
No time to sand the other one down
The prop blades got painted black and the spinners primed.

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
Both Spitfires now have canopies on. One needs a final inspection before painting can begin, the other a coat of primer first.
The props turned out quite nicely.
Cheers

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
Are you spraying outdoors ? Is that sunshine in your pix ? Are you still on this continent ?

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
No I'm in the basement, where I have a corner set up as a spray area, with an extractor fan mounted above it. As I spray only water based acrylics, it's adequate. Plus I wear a mask when spraying.jRatz wrote:Are you spraying outdoors ? Is that sunshine in your pix ? Are you still on this continent ?
No sunlight though!

Re: Andrew's US Spitfires
Work restarts on this project after getting the Siskin finished.
Masked and sprayed the dark green. In this case I'm using VA US Dark Green.
Cheers
Andrew
