discussion Pete's 1/72 Airfix Spitfire (Starter set GB Part 2)

[Mini Me]

Nice progress Pete, wish they made these in 1/87 scale.
Cheers, Rick H.

Finished! Let down by my inept masking and painting, but not too bad:

I did try to make some gun patches, from painted masking tape, but they were just too small to stick, so I gave up! Here it is with the Part 1 'straight from the box' build:

And finally, both Airfix kits alongside an Eduard Profipack that costs three times as much:

Thanks for looking in.

Excellent result(s) Pete.
Apart from having to put up with a bit of silvering in part 1(As we all did!), both your Spitfires look great.

Very well done.

Excellent job on both still shows how we miss the modern aids.

Hi Peter
Very nice result. Paint on part 2 looks smoother and the decals have definitely gone on better. Well done.

Great looking no.2 Pete.:thumb2:

The other two are very nice too, neat to see them in the final pics.

Well worth battling on, they both look great

Thanks folks! I think before I consign Part 1 to the attic I'll try a couple of doses of Microsol and a waft of matt Galeria on it.
