Tamiya Spitfire FR IX- PRU pink (Finished)


Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone!

 

Here are the beauty shots. The engine isn't glued in so the gaps on the cowl are a bit bigger than they should be.

It was an enjoyable build and thanks to Edgar's advice, I was able to get a better representation of the aircraft's colour. 

 

Edit: I just noticed that the control surfaces moved and need to be corrected. I'll try to fix it and take some new pics.

Really really like that Carl, I feel another another Spit coming on already.........!

Thanks Max! It was really really tempting to jump right back in with another Spitfire (MH434 as seen in Battle of Britain) but I'm going to do a quick build of another British icon first but the four wheeled kind.

Just a sublime finish to your model Carl, top drawer.

 

When you take your next batch of photos It would be a treat to see her next to her blue sister.

 

Great job, well done.

 

Like Max, I hope you'll build another Spit after your Esprit adventure. It's been fun and educational following your build.

 

Cheers.

Thanks Guy! These pics are for you. It was a really bright day so there's some shadows in a few of them.

Today was a bit overscast so these may be a bit better. I need to get a better backdrop for my pics.

Thanks Maru. The pink really suits the plane surprisingly. I can't picture a P-47 or Corsair in pink but it just works on the Spitfire.
