Jan Goormans Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) hi Aside from the Phantom project (still slowly going on) I am working another Spitfire.A mk16e the Belgian Air Force used just after the war.They got these in loan from the RAF because the ordered mk14's could not be delivered.These planes where very dirty, most airfields did not have concrete parking places.Camouflage is standard RAF with white lettering. I used the Tamiya 9c as the basis, and ordered extra the sprue FF from the 16e kit to make a 16e high back.You only need the FF sprue to change the wing , the rest is in the 9c box.With several corrections during the build, my own fault, should have done some information gathering before I started and not while building :-) We are ready to start the paint job. Jan The plane I intend to make , have ordered some Maketar masks for it. The Tamiya Spitfire ready for paint. Spitfire parked on PSP with lots of grass coming trough.

Jan Goormans Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Painting started. As usual Tamiya and Gunze acrylics , sometimes even mixed. I always try to get some live into the paint scheme, so that is less of a job to do later during weathering. Staring with a darker an lighter gys , then several browns for the dirt.Finish it with the intended color , but only a very thin mist. Jan A small selection (not complete) of the colors I use for the underside.

Jan Goormans Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 The Tamiya Ocean Gray is on, diluted with the Tamiya Lacquer thinner. Used some lighter grey and a brown/black mix to break the even ocean grey. Now It will has to rest for a while, no time in the coming week for modeling.

Jan Goormans Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 The green is on now.Some variation already applied, hope it will stay visible after a few clear coats. If not we will have to weather more in the later stage.Jan TorbenD, Starfighter, Shaka HI and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Lovely work on an interesting subject Jan. Judging how much variation to the paint to apply and knowing that the clear coat will change the variation is a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
