Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk.I

I broke this old started kit out for a Facebook build on the 100th anniversary of the RAF. As you can see it had some odd colors painted onto it. It was missing seven of the eight guns so I replaced them with plastic mounting blocks and plastic tube drilled out. Also boxed in the wheel wells. Added details on the port side of the cockpit and now working on the starboard side. Was going to motorize it but the UK postal service removed the engine that was sent to me out of the package.  ??? ??? I'd like to hunt one down stateside this time...we shall see. 

 

Lord, this thing is HUGE!  :frantic:

Tuesday I discovered that I was out of RAF cockpit green.  Seeing as how the nearest hobby shop that carries it is over 80 miles away I decided to sleep on it and tonight I improvised. I mixed up Compucolor’s Pale Green and Dark Sea Grey. I’m pretty pleased...good enough for me!

 

 

Later,
