And Mediterranean Blue on top
Neils Eduard 1/72 Spitfire F Mk.IX
- Thread starter Neil
- Start date
The spinner is red which works well:
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.
One in the window without the overhead light...
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
Geoff.
glossed ready for decals.
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
Paint, a great stage to be at. Not long now.
decals on - well mostly, some of the stencils are so small I just didn’t bother. I need to find a better method to do them - that or stick to 1/48 or higher!
When these have dried fully, time for the matt varnish - I may think about the stencils for the propeller as they are more noticeable.
