discussion Gary's 1/48 Eduard Spitfire Mk.IIa Weekend Edition build

[gweller]

For my contribution to the GB I thought I would have a go at this:-
Currently studying the instructions and waiting for the postman to deliver some goodies (paint and masks etc) so I can begin.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

A true hero of the BOB. Great choice.

Brillaint. A true work horse of the BoB. Interesting box art, a Spitfire escorting Stirlings.

 

[Portman]

That's a cracking choice!

I'm actually reading one of Bader's books at present - not a bad read.

 

[gweller]

Still waiting for the paint to arrive otherwise I would have made a start. Still gives me a chance to get the Wildcat finished.

A great choice Gary, look forward to seeing the build

 

[Geoffers]

Very nice choice Gary

I'm looking forward to starting as soon as the postman delivers the paint. I've been drooling over the kit and studying the manual - it's quite complex and a bit above my pay grade to be honest, but I shall give it my best shot!

You'll enjoy the build Gary, it's just a matter of taking your time

Thanks Joe, good advice!!

Let battle commence! The postman came up trumps this afternoon, so at last I can make a start. Never used Hataka acrylics before so will be trying them out on an old model first.

I don't use these paints myself, but others have been very positive about Hataka.

A bit of progress, would have liked to have got further than this by now, but the Wildcat build has been keeping me busy. Still, it's a start....

Shouldn't be any problems given that it's an Eduard.

Will also be interested to hear how the Hataka paints go.
