Phoenixs Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hello everyone , I present my latest work : Spitfire MK.IXc belonging to145 SQUADRON RAF on the Tunisian Goubrine airbase during April 1943 , piloted from Ace Polish Stanislaw Skalski .The kit is Tamiya 60319 , " seasoned" with aftermarket various resins Barracuda cast for tires and various parts of the cabin , and Eduard photoetched.The coloring was done by free hand with acrylics Xtracrylics , as my habit I tried to minimize the use of decals , replacing them , where possible , with masking . For the weathering I tried different filters of the True Earth.Here are the pictures: Uncarina, hamfists nz, Jackson and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 That's a beautiful build, Ivan! Wonderfully painted and weathered. The pre-shading is just a little bit too prominent for me, but it still looks fantastic. May I publish it on the website? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Great work, Ivan. A fine addition to an equally impressive Gallery. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Great looking Spit and fantastic paint work. Photos of this aircraft show it to be anything but clean and I think you've captured that pretty well. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Very well done model! Great weathering and detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looks great, good job that man! The tropical finish looks better than the rather drab European camouflage to my eyes, whilst the subtle weathering is spot on. Did you polish the canopy? It looks very convincing.

SinuheH Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Nice work, although I will agree with Kevin that the pre-shading is bit too prominent. That - however - should not detract from a wonderful model! Congratulatione! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urs Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 @Phoenix question about the hub caps. After my knowledge Barracuda do not have wheels for desert use - with wheels hub discs? Which kind pf wheel you were using here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used tamiya compound and I set the piece in wax future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which kind pf wheel you were using here? Hi, I used the set 32006 , sincerely I do not know if it is 100% correct : photos of this model are few and far apart. I trusted indications of Tamiya.
