KUROK Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi all, After Lope's Hope P-40N dragged on for months, I needed a true Mojo kit. This was it! This is the weekend edition Spitfire from Eduard. It build up wonderfully right from the box. The only complaint is that I had no seat belts of any kind (so I posed the canopy closed). There were a lot of fiddly little parts...but everything fit together like a Swiss watch. I must say it was about 8 weeks of model building joy. Rock on Eduard! It got entered in the IPMS Nationals last weekend but the competition was fierce. It was my first use of Mission Models paint. Their primer is awesome and it will be "my boy" from now on. The spinner was painted with Model Master Acryl. My secret formula for that is 50% Future. Sprays great and cures hard as rock! OK, indulge me in one more pose of "Lope's Hope"...

AlbertD Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They both look great. I just finished an old 1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat out of the box and had a blast. Sometimes a quick, easy build is just what the doctor ordered. KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUROK Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Here is a shot of the cockpit right out of the box. Really nice! No seat belts but according to the IPMS rules I could have added them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
