Airfix - Supermarine Spitfire MK1a - 1/72

Post by Kgbow »

Ok guys. Here's my first ever build coming from a game world modeling scene. Must say, I'm enjoying it a lot!

I know there's a few mistakes but I'm happy as it's my first crack at it!

note - I had issues with both gloss and mat varnish going "misty" anyone with that problem try these two things...
Gloss - Pledge
Matt - Windsor and Newton Acrylic mat varnish
NO MORE MISTING! :th:

Thanks for having a look! Any comments or criticism would be greatly received! :)

Outstanding build mate, looks better than my first attempt at modeling. The weathering is nice and I don't see any mistakes besides the canopy looking foggy. But it doess not matter it looks great you should be proud!

Looks like we keep getting new modelers in the forum, I think our hobby is growing.

That's a cracking wee build there mate. The camo is very neatly done, good work, and it just generally looks like a nicely painted Spit. Excellent.
