Tamiya Spitfire MK.XVIe

[Pfuf]

Hi done a lot of work on the cockpit used a darker green highly diluted with water to lift the detail a bit.

I used a very dark Grey on the black backing of the clocks and used a black marker to highlight them.

The seat needs a bit more paint and weathering al though you will see not that much becose the pilot will fill most of it.

On one control stick I made the cables but it's running late so tomorrow I will fix the other one.

More work is done on the left and right wall and I hope to finish this this weekend so I can close it to bad so much of it will be very hard to see but I have the photo's hehe.

Johan, it looks like you're operating with some sort of cloning unit! Great work mate, and I can't believe how precisely you're replicating the paint work and details on both builds.

Hi finally I have the time to do some work on the Spit very busy at work.

I painted the pilots the heads come on later afther I have done most of the work my first pilots I have done and I gleud on the PE seatbelts bit of a struggle.

The Egines need more work and a bit more dirt I used water base paint so the silver from alcad reappears when I use Airbrush cleaner from Vallejo you can use a cotten swab and slowly thin down the paint layer ore remove it all from some parts.
