Gadfly's Vb and Seafire IIC *Finished*
Re: Gadfly's Vb and Seafire IIC
Thanks...
I just build em as best I can like anyone else.. The Tamiya kit is really great and allows you to get to the point of painting with minimal fuss.
Cheers

Superb GF - those colours look great.
I think I may have to get my self some blue card like yours as background - It works well.

Re: Gadfly's Vb and Seafire IIC
Ok update time...
I have been progressing..
I elected to Paint the upper wing roundels cutting some masks with the compass cutter I also masked and painted the tail national markings. The balance of the markings are decals it needs a few stencils adding. I mixed the roundel colours form Tamiya paints I think the match is reasonable. It looks very clean and shiny currently and will need weathering up a bit to make it look less like a Corgi toy..

That Vb looks simply gorgeous. I'd never have the nerve to paint on roundels like that.
