Brodiebear Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Got his leather gauntlets painted up last night, they need a very translucent coat of Tamiya smoke then a semi gloss coat to give them some shine.

DonH Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Very nice work on the gauntlets, a bit of shine will be perfect. Interesting that this kit reflects the little known fact that DB went into battle clutching a small tambourine in his right hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodiebear Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Control column painted; its another piece of finely detailed sculpting and molding,its a shame but wont be seen once installed into the cockpit; Boots painted and lightly weathered, just a bit of mud from running to his Spitfire; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodiebear Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Nearly there , just got t to fit his arms into the sockets, may need a bit of push/pull trimming / filling and into the cockpit he can go. Will spray the cockpit side with brown to complete the camouflage this weekend, Green is already down and that will complete the whole project, so hopefully be finished this weekend/ early next week.

Brodiebear Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Well I have finally completed the RP Models resin kit of Douglas Bader sitting in his Spitfire cockpit. Quite a lot of parts go to make up this model and a bit of working out what can go where before gluing anything into place. The cockpit is a hefty piece of resin when completed and the addition of Bader makes it quite weighty. It has taken 5 months in total to get from opening the box to mounting the completed item onto a plinth, obviously i haven't been at it every day for five months, just a leisurely pace. I am sure i spent to much time painting and detailing pieces that once in the cockpit will be never seen again, parachute pack, control column, compass, etc. But its all part of the fun I suppose.
