Go for it Daren- you can never have too many Spitfires.

The uppersurfaces have been painted blue, when this is dry the wingtips will be masked off to be painted white and the fin will be masked off to be painted blue.

Great job so far. Good to hear it goes together well.

[lancfan]

Thanks Tim.
The wing tips and fin have been painted and the canopy has been glued in place, when the glue is dry the canopy frames will be painted followed by decals and varnish.

Looks great! That's a really nice gloss finish you've achieved, what did you use?

[lancfan]

Thanks Mike, I used Revell Aqua to mix the blue.

Looking sooooooo sweet. Great gloss finish. Looks like my connectivity issues have gone away. But I have been watching.

[lancfan]

Cheers Jeff.

The decals are in place and the undercarriage legs have been glued on, when the glue is dry the model can be gloss varnished over the decals and the last parts can then be fitted to complete the model.

[lancfan]

The airframe has been varnished and all that remains is to fit the wheels, exhausts, propeller and antenae to finish the model.

[jssel]

Oh yes, I like that! You don't see many civilian-marked Spitfires.
