Shoggz Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 The call outs for the cockpit specify a 'Supermarine interior green' using Tamiya's XF-71 as the base. I made my own using MRP-111 Interior Grey Green. Here's my first set of airbrushed components: Next step - some construction and instrument panel. I used the kit decals on my previous 'Mid version' Kotare and I aim to do so here too, as I thought they worked great.

Archimedes Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Nice start Richard! Agreed with all: you really can’t have too many Spitfires! The kit decals are astonishing especially the IP ones - wouldn’t you agree?. I know you have used them before so would love to hear your experience. On my next one I’ll use magnification. I’m sure you won’t make the error I did in putting the rev counter on upside down! Kind regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See my recent P-47 build!), but I used the kit decals for the IP on my previous Kotare mid build and thought they were great. So, I fully intend to go the same route with this early version! Here's my previous go at it, which I was pleased with, but I want to make this one even better!

dennismcc Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I too like the Yahu panels but doing it the old fashioned way is very satisfying. Cheers Dennis Archimedes and Shoggz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggz Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Two hours tonight spent on the instrument panel! ..and I think it was worth it. Doing an IP this way pushes the old decaling skills. For me, the art is to try and hit that sweet spot where you have enough water on the decal to allow you to manoeuvre it, but not too much so you flood and disturb what you've already done.. Got the seat constructed and painted too. Archimedes, geedubelyer, chaos07 and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Looks good and I find it a very satisfying job, but lately I have been getting lazy with the YAHU sets. Cheers Dennis Shoggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
