Hi Kris.! I hope (and I know) that the best you can do! As usually. :-) I'll be watching you...

It is a well-made ​​model. Incredible weathering!

I thank you guys! You praise me too much. But I must admit that it's very nice.

Almost ready. Seatbelts from HGW Pastels, pigments and Tamiya weathering master ...and ready for Inspection!

About aircraft: 112 Squadron RAF. Gambut, Libya, North Africa. February 1942. Flown by Flying Officer Neville Duke. He was the top Allied flying ace in the Mediterranean Theatre, having shot down at least 27 enemy aircraft, and was acknowledged as one of the world's foremost test pilots after the war. In 1953, he became holder of the world air speed record (727.63 mph). Work in progress

I thank you so much for the good feedback. It is used for this sequence: 1. Paints 2. Mr. Color Gunze Gloss 3. Decals 4. Mr. Color Gunze Semi-gloss (and sometimes instead of Gunze I give the Polish equivalent of Future - Sidolux. It is less aggressive) 5. Oil Colors with White Spirit (W. Spirit is odourless Turpentine) 6. Mr. Color Gunze Matt 7. Oil colors again

Weathering:

Zinc-chromate The decals printed by Cartograf are excellent!

This is my way of masking the glass. Pre-shading Azure Blue Middle Stone and Dark Earth

Thank you! Kagemusha: No, it did not take too much time. I only needed to collect the resin, slightly ...

Work is in progress. Applied the putty. Layout proposed by the Hasegawa part is a little complicated, especially with glass. Now the model is ready for painting.

Ads: I'v got some pictures of this aircraft, but can't show here (I mean copyright). dodgem37: I use lighter fluid for oils (or white spirit). The fluid is better for me.

Cockpit assembly. Black for deep shadows. Mixing for searching Curtiss Bronze Green. Painting small parts and highlights Dry-brush with enamels ...and Hasegawa's perfect fit...

I thank you all. You are so kind. I'm just trying to doing my job, sir!

Excellent! I love this subtle weathering.

I made this model about half year ago. Only aftermarket on it is decals from Kagero publishing. As all we know Tamiya's Spitfire is amazing! BS556 coded RF-G of 303 Polish Squadron. The aircraft was manufactured as MkV and later upgraged to MkIX. It initially served with 611 Sqn RAF (it seems that the machine was in fact used by Al Deere - W/Cdr Flying Biggin Hill Wing). After a brief service with 315 Sqn (Polish), from June to September 1943 it remained with 303 Sqn. ...and several photos from my workbench:

Out2gtcha, surfaces for P-40 looks cool. My real goal is just make a good model. I'm not chasing aftermarkets so much. For me, the most important is painting, overall vibe. Here we are one of my latest production, Bf 109 F, Marseille, North Africa.

Let me present my new work. Kittyhawk Mk.I, Hasegawa, 1/32; relatively new kit. Easy to build kit but allow make interesting scale model. I will use optional extras: Barracuda Decals and CMK resin undercarriage set. I'm waitnig for Sutton harness from HGW. About aircraft: 112 Squadron RAF. Gambut, Libya, North Africa. February 1942. Flown by Flying Officer Neville Duke. He was the top Allied flying ace in the Mediterranean Theatre, having shot down at least 27 enemy aircraft, and was acknowledged as one of the world's foremost test pilots after the war. In 1953, he became holder of the world air speed record (727.63 mph). Wish me luck, that's my first account here.

I'd love to see a really good kit of 1/32 Tempest and Hawker Typhoon. Both of them was great planes.
