BloorwestSiR Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Great looking Spitfires, Carl! Kev Thanks Kev! Next time, I won't try to do four at once. Two is plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Oh my those are beautiful Love painted on markings - much better than decals Thanks Thomas! And yes, painted markings look so much better than decals. Plus there's no clear coat to worry about. That being said, the ones I used on TD248 worked really well for me.

BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks Alain, Shaka and Mike! I appreciate you guys dropping in and checking them out. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 You really are a Spit specialist Carl....both look stunning. Couldn't agree more with Thomas about painted on markings being so much better than decals.....and I must dig my Mk IX out and finish it too. Max Thanks Max! I'm finally coming to the end of the big pile of Tamiya Spitfires. I have three left in the stash to build and I'm waiting on a Griffon nose for those. Hopefully you'll have your IX back on the bench soon. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Well, they're both done now. I added the final small details to both- pitot tubes, antenna mast, and canopies. Unfortunately due to our home renos, I don't have a place to take better pics at the moment so these will have to do for now. With the cowls off and the red Merlin in view: The HF VII: Thanks again to everyone for dropping in. Now to clutter up the bench again Carl Edited August 17, 2017 by BloorwestSiR Alain Gadbois, R Palimaka, Shaka HI and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nice, Carl! How many have you finished? We need a group shot. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClumsyDude Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wow, Carl, they're both beautiful! I have to admit I really like the NMF one the most, what a striking and attractive scheme! Cheers Jim BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Nice, Carl! How many have you finished? We need a group shot. Thanks Shaka! I've got 9 Spitfires completed altogether. 8 are Tamiya kits, one is the Revell/Matchbox. The funny thing is I never built a Spitfire in any scale until these. As for a group shot, it'll have to wait until our renos are done as I can't get to my display case. Carl Shaka HI and Alain Gadbois 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jim Thanks Jim! It is a nice change from the usual camo schemes we usually see on Spitfires. It was based on a paint scheme that was on a high back 21 post war which I'm hoping to build as well. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
