nmayhew Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 photo recon birds never do anything for me (in any guise) but having followed the build I will say that it's superbly done but the Vc.... YES!!! I love the colours and the faded effects i can almost feel the Malta sun about to hit the back of my neck (I wish - it's about 15 degC outside lol) couple of things: first one looks like an 'oops' - a splodge of paint at the front of one of the fuel tanks? second more a question of approach - have you thought about more weathering / dirt / maybe hairspray chipping on the wing roots? the minimal chipping I could see on the starboard wing panel looks a bit out of place this is a Vc so no machine guns right? so the chipping on the MG panel out there looks a bit odd anyway, these are but trifles! i have a handful of Malta Spits planned - all from the Cauchi book - and the lack of a decent kit is putting me off but seeing this completed makes me really want to crack open the box and get cutting as soon as I finish my cup of tea! thanks for sharing the journey and the inspiring work Nick Wackyracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Sorry Nick, the Vc armament was the same as any other c wing: either two cannon (hence the wide bulge over the cannon bay) or one cannon and 2 x .303 machine guns. This has a cannon stub in each outboard cannon position so two mgs were probably fitted. But of course evidence for this particular a/c will supersede that. I'm afraid we must agree to differ on PR birds as well, but that's just my preference. Great pair of Spitfires, love them. Well done.
