LSP_K2 23,815 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Looks just great to me. In your opinion, is this kit much of an improvement over the old Revell/Hasegawa hybrid? Link to post Share on other sites

Wouter 1,516 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Great paintjob David, indeed very natural. Only bit I would nitpick about is the large patch of aluminium at the wing root (a bit to big to my taste). CATCplSlade 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Totalize 570 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you all. Your comments are much appreciated. Wouter. Thanks for the feedback. Point taken. Some pictures of Spits show minimal bare aluminum wear at the port ring root but I found after looking at tons of pictures that even some of the spits with minimal weathering had large amounts of bare aluminum wear on the port side. So, I guess I could have gone either way on this one but chose the heavy wearing path. Just a matter of personal taste I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Ron 13,365 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I'd say that the wing root wear is pretty common for well used Spits. Somewhere I have a rear view of one that really shows wear but I can't find it right now. MikeC, Totalize, Model_Monkey and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
