Landlubber Mike Posted May 30, 2020 Share #31 Posted May 30, 2020 Really nice work. Having done two planes in 1/72, I know how hard it is.

cog Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share #33 Posted June 7, 2020 Thank you all for all the likes and comments during the build it has been greatly appreciated! Now for the last leg ... Weathered, afther that, sprayed a layer of satin varnish, unfortunately it looks more like matt, added some last clear parts ... Nearly forgot: The kit is meant to be built with a stationary prop, which I changed to a rotating version Next one ... finish the Bf 109G-6 in Swiss colours RGL, Edwardkenway, Old Collingwood and 10 others 13 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Tigerdvr Posted June 7, 2020 Share #36 Posted June 7, 2020 One very excellent Spitfire. You might want to contact your crew chief (forget what the Brits call ground crew, fitters maybe) and tell him to repair your broken aileron cable. Builds of this quality set the standard for the rest of us.

Egilman Posted June 7, 2020 Share #39 Posted June 7, 2020 Those invasion stripes can be a pain, but they make the rest of the finish just pop. It was striking and adds an element of contrast besides being quite attractive... Beautiful job.....
