discussion Andy's 1/72 Spitfire Mk1

[Andy T]

For the middle child of my trio I've gone for a dependable Tamiya. At least one of the builds should be plain sailing!



A few more parts than the 1/144, but still quite sparse.



And a quick scale shot of the three together.



I'm still awaiting some decals to suit my chosen scheme, but I'd better start cracking on!

I think we should all take bets on whether you manage to complete the build of the 144 and still have the antenna in place at the end.

I'd definitely be betting against myself

That 1/44 looks almost comical in the line up. Not seen the Tamiya 1/72 built before Andy, so interested to see how it goes.

Well Joe, it builds up very quickly as it happens!

I got the cockpit built & painted earlier today



Then the rest of it pretty much falls together.



There's a bit of final sanding needed on some of the seams and then I can mask the canopy and give it some primer.

The rest of the parts are ready for the wet stuff too.

That went together rather quickly Andy, looks an enjoyable build so far. I like the way Tamiya break down these aeroplane kits.

Looks good mate, love the three together comparison...
