Hi,
Well, I finally got my first build finished this weekend. Even though I've been on here for a while now I've never finished a kit conplete and been able to post some photos. I have had a couple of "bin jobs" along the way due to an accident with a pot of Tamiya extra thin cement with one model and another which has ended up being my airbrush practice mule.
But this time I've managed to finish a kit, probably due to my missus promising her boss I would build him a Spitfire
I've mainly used Tamiya paints throughout the build but the Dark Earth was Xtracrylics, and the finish coat is Vallejo Matt. It's also the first time of trying a wash coat and I used Flory Models Dark Dirt for the panel lines with Tamiya Smoke for the exhaust staining and gun ports.
Anyway here goes and I hope the photos upload OK. Any and all comments greatfully received, and if anyone has any tips or suggestions then please feel free

I'm a couple of weeks off of finishing a Tamiya MkVb Spitfire too and as soon as I've finished I'll post some of that build.
Atb,
Colin.
