Lancfan's Spitfire mk VI ** FINISHED **

[Clashcityrocker]

Nice work. Is that lighter fluid in the yellow tin, and what do you use this for?

I find the lighter fluid very useful Nigel, it degreases any parts that I don't wash properly, it removes tape residue and it flushes my airbrush out after use to prevent it from clogging with acrylic.

Varnish, decals and then matt varnish followed next ready for final assembly and weathering.

The last parts were fitted and the model was weathered to finish the build at 21 hrs & 32 minutes.

Excellent finish! A blitz to be very proud of!

Thanks Toby, VV. I'm off for a good nap now.

Without the clock and the times of each post, you'd never know that was completed in less than 24 hours!
That's an excellent finish

[jssel]

Well done. Like it a lot.

[TimJ]

As the others have said, you'd never know it was built in less than 24 hours to look at it. Excellent build.

[lancfan]

Thanks iggie, Jeff, Tim.

Very nice indeed! Not a subject you see very often, either.

[lancfan]

Cheers Daren.

[Clashcityrocker]

Very nice. Careful where you park it, you'll have an eye out with those wing tips

Just caught up with this David. Top blitz build.

I like your method of fitting the wing to the fuselage before attaching the nose. I will try that as I have always had trouble with the Italeri Spits in this area.
