artoor_k Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) ...Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you...but I believe in Spitfire the way that some people believe in fairy tales... Sorry August Rush...I just had to correct you...Spitfire is one and only... This is Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk Vb...holy grail of my childhood and reason of huge row with parents ("You don't need it!"). I made this model about 10 years ago and I just had to do it again. This time with use of airbrush, Tamiya paints instead of Humbrols etc. I've used Master Hispano barrels and Eduard seat belts. And MIG oilbrushers, Tamiya paneliners and pigments and a lot of Evergreen styrene. Antenna is courtesy of my wife - she donated her own hair BTW , it's a what if. This is model of aircraft representing Zumbach's fighter , not a real one.So chipping is completely fictional I know that doors were lower when opened but I had a problem with hinge so I decided to leave it as it is.

Dpgsbody55 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Well done. I built this kit myself a couple of years ago. The ancient Airfix kit still makes a nice project, doesn't it. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigant Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks for all your comments It could be better, maybe I'll correct that doors soon ! When you "correct" the door, are you thinking of also accenting the panel lines through the upper-wing roundals, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
