Urs Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Nice paint job so far on basic. Just curious for the next steps in the build progress. Seems desert camo are very liked - l'm doing nearly the same.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi Pete, How did I miss this build. I read it from the start. Such an elegant plane. Your cockpit is rather impressive. Super paint job. You are a talented modeler in my book. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Sharp work, Brother Bear. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprm Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I love the Mark VIII Spitfire!.. it has the most balanced and graceful lines of all the Spitfire marks (well - to at least to me!) I have one of these which - will be on my bench in the not-too distant future and will make a Beautiful RAAF version .. Keep up the good quality work Peter!

Out2gtcha Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Smashing Peter! Wow, that camo work is really eye catching, and a nice change from the normal Spit schemes. Model on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Nice to see you back at it Peter. Always a fan of desert camo on Spitfires. Your version looks very well done, and I like the engine weathering. Keep it up buddy Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Mal Welcome back - you surely have been missed. Thank you for the compliments on the Spit. With work winding down for the year, I've finally had more time at the bench and been able to pick up the build speed a bit. I'm now almost through decaling and will be posting another update maybe by weeks end. Peter Edited December 1, 2015 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Urs Very much appreciated. With the basic cammo work done, it's time for a super smooth top coat and decaling. I decided to finally break into my supply of Alclad Gloss Klear Kote and once dry ( about an hours time), I started the decaling process, which so far has taken me a 18 hours. After struggling with Tamiya's Viper Decals and the same with their Jug (48th scale), I went with Victory decals; printed by Cartograph - a what a difference. Of course, all the stencils are Tamiya's and except for a few, still needing to be added, I'm almost through with this portion of the build. Prop and Hub are were completed as well.

Guest Peterpools Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Hi Anthony very much appreciated the compliments on the Spit but more important, totally agree, it's great to have Mal back. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Oliver Thanks so much and glad you found the build. The Spit has been a fun build (even taking into account my blunder) and going OOB, things are smooth sailing for the most part; nothing like Tamiya quality.I am always amazed at you incredible work and have followed your latest project from day one - inspiring and way beyond my abilities.
