keith in the uk Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sure is a wonderfull model , the detailing and paint job are surpurb only one minor mistake and its very common , the crow bars were never Red ( Black or green ) Red crow bars are used on restored spitfires for safety reasons Brad-M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkhorn Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Of course, you can add it where you want. The Kagero book...what a nightmare...I wanted to paint all profiles Really a nice and a "must have" book. Thanks Maciej Thanks Combi, I'll also pass the link to my friend Janusz, who painted all the profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip01 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 amazing model! This must be one of the most beautiful Spit builds i've ever seen. Top! Philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combi Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks to all Sure is a wonderfull model , the detailing and paint job are surpurb only one minor mistake and its very common , the crow bars were never Red ( Black or green ) Red crow bars are used on restored spitfires for safety reasons Thanks for the advice. When I looh for images of the crow bar I saw it in red, blue, metal, orange...and all of them were restored aircrafts. I choose red beacause it would "brake" all the green color around. I will correct it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) With all of the enthusiasm generated by the release of Airfix’s large scale Spitfire I found myself casually browsing images when I stumbled across this thread. I make no apologies for resurrecting this superb RFI thread. What at a fabulous model.

John Stambaugh Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Glad this popped up again as I had missed it before. This finish and weathering is as good as it gets! My 1st impression was that it is overdone but the wartime pics show this model to be highly accurate. Bravo Combi! You are an artist!

Red is the giveaway that it is a postwar or currently airworthy machine. Combi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
