Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX

Thread owner
The yellow on the wing edges has bled, I tried using the 1mm tape but it is probably too thin to fold so I’ll need to redo these.

The patches on the blue are just where I was touching up so they are wet, they should be same colour when dried fully.

The difference in the exhuasts is markedly better than Geoffers - and this is a 1/72, makes it yet more of a surprise that yours is like that Geoff.
 
Mediterranean blue is bright! Sometimes those leading edges are easier to mask and paint after the main scheme is on.

Looking good Neil, it’s an eye catching scheme 😃

Glad the exhausts are better in 1/72 👍

I had a weird effect with a decal onto the door - my own fault, as I was too hasty and added the decal before the gloss had really set and then used DecalFix - luckily the kit has 3 doors so no big deal, but I’ll bear that in mind for future, haste is not a good friend with models
