Shoggz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Well done on finishing a lovley Spit Shawn! Edited February 17, 2016 by Shoggz Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 That's a really great looking model Shawn, I hope mine looks as good. The only thing I would query is the lack of yellow tips on the propeller blades, perhaps the early Spits didn't have them? Max Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Beautiful build and a stellar tribute! Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 thought about that as well Max, couldn't find a clear yes/no. If anyone can provide a clear answer I will pray them on in a jiffy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) this would indicate it started in 1938? http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/69991-yellow-prop-tip-question/ oh what the hell, a little extra color wont hurt. I'll spray on some yellow when I get home tonight. 4" in 1/32 scale is 1/8" Edited February 17, 2016 by Shawn M geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 This is a useful reference Shawn though it doesn't give any clues about the yellow tips. I reckon you could easily get away without adding them. http://www.boxartden.com/gallery/index.php/Profiles/Camoflage-Markings/01-Supermarine-Spitfire/Supermarine-Spitfire-Camo-and-Marks_Page_01-960 Max Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 She's a beaut' Shawn, cracking job mate. I have little doubt that Edgar would approve. I think you were right to add the red canvas gun covers. It adds a neat splash of interest. Nice tribute to the man. Well done. Cheers.

BiggTim Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If you see this kit at your LHS or for cheap on ebay....buy it! You can have an enjoyable "roots" build OOB or throw a lil spice at it and make it special. I traditionally never build the same kit twice, I would build another of these in a heart beat it was that enjoyable. Agreed! I built one of these a couple years ago for a buddy (also wheels up) and I had a good time with it as well! Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I added the yellow, much like Geedub pointed out about the canvas patches, the yellow sparks it up a notch Couldn't resist posing all the shelf brothers together...all old boxing 1/32 Revell Jobbies MikeC, Shaka HI, dmthamade and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totalize Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 NIcely executed. A real fine piece of work. Just a question about the missing red/white/blue panels on the tail. Did this aircraft not have them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this aircraft not have them?No, early ones didn't have the tail markings David. Have a look at that link that I put in on post 121 above then go to p3.Max Edited February 20, 2016 by mozart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
