matto21 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks @mustang1989! Not far to go now - the prop needs weathering and the exhausts need painting before a flat coat and some final weathering. I'll be glad to get this done!

matto21 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Thanks @Jennings Heiligand @MARU5137 for your very kind comments! It's much appreciated! I haven't started weathering the props yet but thanks for that info, I'll do my best to include it. Yesterday was spent weathering the exhausts. I started off with an overall coat of XF-24 Dark Grey and then oversprayed firstly with straight up XF-10 Flat Brown and then a 50/50 mix of XF-10 and XF-69 NATO Black. A couple of washes later and this is the result, of which I'm quite pleased. The aforementioned prop is only dry fitted at the moment hence looking a bit loose! And then some overall shots... Thanks again! Matt John1, Landrotten Highlander, Greg W and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Marvellous job on the exhaust. Looking at the side profile, the aircraft appears shorter than other spitfires I've seen. Is it possible to get a close up of the legs? I am wondering if Airfix took the hydraulic suspension in mind and saved many of us from having to do it ourselves? You have built a lovely model. Well done. matto21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto21 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Sorry for dredging up an old thread. I recently bought a camera, and as this is the only recently completed model I have, I've been practicing taking photos using it as a subject!
