Tamiya Spitfire Vb. 1/48
Not so much of a build but I would like to share whats left. I think we have had enough of air craft builds the last few days!!!
The group build is directly responsible for this. Sort of woke a dormant urge to get back into wing things!
Right then. The kit is built but still need to put the rest of the sticky out bits; landing gear etc. The canopy is masked and just needs a squirt of paint.
I choose to mask the camo on this one and its the first time I tried this way. I normally would paint the ground colour, then draw the camo in and paint it free hand!
Though putting all the maskes on is a total pain and takes forever to gat things lined up, I think the result is worth it.
Not putting the pilot in, and have opened the drop door so you can see a bit better into the cock-pit...
Heres a couple of photos. Comments are welcome.
Paint wise its a real mix. Under surfaces are Vallejo Sky Grey. Camo is WEM Colorcoat Ocean Grey with Humbrol dark green 130!!!
