alain11 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi everybody This Spitfire is not really a new built , I did her almost 15 years ago ( maybe more ) , but as I haven't posted something for a while now , it is time to go .... of course , it is the old Matchbox kit , the cockpit has been reworked from A to Z , new panel lines engraved , markings painted .... Spit at that time were painted with aluminium lacquer , so no shades of NM .....enjoy ... or not bye Alain Learstang, LSP_Paul, Mal_Belford and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That is stunning Alain! One of the best renditions of that old clunker that I've seen. You've really tamed all the clunky surface detail and given it some real life. Well done! May I publish it on the website? Oh, by the way, your first 4 images appear to be missing.
