LSP_Kevin Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Welcome aboard, Duke! Great looking Spitfire there. I've just moved your thread here to the Ready for Inspection forum, where it more appropriately belongs. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Wow! Very commendable effort on the Spitfire! Well done to say the least, as the detail on the engine alone is noteworthy. duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you guys! i appreciate your comments! @RobthepomAK RC are very nice actually! i started using them some months ago and i am happy with them, they spray very well, have a very smooth semi gloss finish and excellent coverage , there is no doubt they are quality paints, I don't know about the shades , but they claim that they are very accurate.. they dry very fast and had no problem with oil washes and weathering.. you might find it difficult to use the hairspray technique , especially after a long time , because they are lacquers and they dry hard, much harder than acrylics. i use levelling thinner or, the AK real color thinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
