    Ian M's Seafire fr46/47. Airfix 1/48.

    I always find that with 1/48 you need to prime all the little bits, but with 1/72 I do sometimes just go straight to the main colour. Especially those parts that are hidden away afterwards. This is all looking spot-on and I’m glad someone did the Seafire as well.

    Gary's Academy 1/48 scale Wildcat F4F-F

    Good job Gary, I think the weathering looks subtle and effective, rather underdo it than overdo it. I may need to invest in the rigging wire too.

    Workbench, show us yours

    well I’m fortunate to have a decent size room - but I can create mess without trying. So I have one desk for the modelling, theoretically an L-shape to have more room but that just gives me space to put more stuff on. A separate desk for the airbrush and painting booth. One day, I dream of...

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    And some more progress. I haven’t put it together yet, just dry fitting it to see it works OK.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    well I found a pilot from an Airfix kit that I lost the canopy for, but I think he may need to go all Douglas Bader to fit in - painted in case he does fit..

    Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa

    well I’m off this week and one day will definitely be back to modelling and I am now sold on the in-flight version.

    The Bandai/Revell are reboxing aren’t they? In which case, the At-At and AT-ST (as per my avatar) are well done - and I never feel the need to stick to the paint scheme for a fictional subject - go rogue with the scheme!

    Paul T's Spitfire mk Vc...... Airfix 1/72

    I do like a nice silver aircraft. This is looking splendid.

    Tonys Italeri 1/48 Spitfire mk XVI

    An interesting choice with the Italeri, have you decided on the colour scheme or still thinking on it,

    Steven’s 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IIa

    The pilot is so well painted I had to make sure it really is 1/48. I’m looking forward to seeing it in-flight, planning on doing the same.

    Welcome to this Anniversary GB, 90 years of Spitfires.

    I tried to resist - everyone does a Spit, I’m going to stand above everyone else and not do one…. But then all these fabulous threads started appearing and there’s only so much cutting your nose off to spite your face you can really do.!

    Papa695s 1/72 Airfix Spitfire PR XIX

    On the plus side, they are not very thin stripes, let’s hope the other decals play nicer as well.

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    I’m thinking of putting it on a plinth, you don’t get a pilot with Eduard, but I have an airfix Spitfire that I lost the canopy before completion so I should have a pilot in that. I’ve got some parts of the office complete too. On a side-note, my acrylic for the grey/green had dried out, but I...

    Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

    And some progress today - unfortunately it will be on hiatus for a couple of weeks as we’re away next weekend.

    Andy's 1/72 Spitfire Mk1

    Very nice, and good to see the size comparisons.

    Marking camouflage before starting it

    I sketch in pencil but then the masking tape gets messed up - I need some more blu-tack anyway so I’ll get some white as well - the irony is the Spitfire will be sea-blue on top and grey underside anyway :)

    Marking camouflage before starting it

    I have tended to stick to single colour or large blocks of colour for the simple reason I usually draw the camo pattern on primer using a light pencil and then paint. This works OK, but the pattern is just my eye-balling the colour scheme and drawing it on by hand, and I’m sure this is not the...

    Welcome to this Anniversary GB, 90 years of Spitfires.

    I think I will be doing this - there is a blue/grey scheme from Malta which I like. Probably in flight. To be confirmed at the weekend

    And of course, I had a ‘sticky’ basket… And a dilemma for the GB.
