Hi all,
After Lope's Hope P-40N dragged on for months, I needed a true Mojo kit. This was it!
This is the weekend edition Spitfire from Eduard. It build up wonderfully right from the box.
The only complaint is that I had no seat belts of any kind (so I posed the canopy closed).
There were a lot of fiddly little parts...but everything fit together like a Swiss watch.
I must say it was about 8 weeks of model building joy. Rock on Eduard!
It got entered in the IPMS Nationals last weekend but the competition was fierce.
It was my first use of Mission Models paint. Their primer is awesome and it will be "my boy" from now on.
The spinner was painted with Model Master Acryl. My secret formula for that is 50% Future. Sprays great and cures hard as rock!
OK, indulge me in one more pose of "Lope's Hope"...
