Thanks Barry. So MRP can be chipped. It's tough, but possible.I particularly like the chipping
Cheers. It would have been too easy to carry on and do a little bit more.The weathering looks spot on
Thank you Andi. I see your questions have been answered. You can see we have very knowledgeable people on this forum.That's a great looking Spitfire! The stressed paint job looks awesome to me
Not bad Dave, but I paid £17.00 for mine, second hand.If anyone's interested..........................
It is indeed. Quite a model for a few quid.ive built this and it is a good value for money kit
Thank you Steve, and thanks for the background information. I did forget to research this build, probably because I started it so long ago.nice subject too.
And I for one have been guilty of that mistake. Although I was tempted to go a bit further, I managed to restrain myself, well a bit anyway.I have noticed over the past year that 'weathering' 'pre shading' 'post shading' seems to have gone way over the top
No Andrea, these are the kit decals, except for the 'Sky' band on the fuselage, Revell don't supply this as a decal.I suppose markings are painted, not decals. Am I right?
My best bet would be a temporary repair to possible damage. Looks like tape around the edge.Hello,
That's a great looking Spitfire! The stressed paint job looks awesome to me.
I still have two questions. In the photo of the real Spitfire you can see a white square on the wing. What is that? Any marker for a leader? I've never seen that before.
And I'm surprised at the lack of armament on the model. Shouldn't there be openings for the machine guns where the red fields are on the wing? Or did the British have them covered somehow?
Best regards,
Andi
The answer is on the previous page Doug. A gas detector patch.My best bet would be a temporary repair to possible damage. Looks like tape around the edge.
Could also be a squadron marking to identify that particular plane!!!
Thanks Joe. This 'less is more', I think I'm beginning to understand it.Lovely result Colin, your weathering is restrained and looks the part
