Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a (mid) - Kotare Models 1/32
Spitfire replied to Clunkmeister's topic in Aircraft Reviews
Great write up, I'm looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on one, once Hannants gets them in. Cheers Dennis -

That Val really looks the part, roll on. Cheers Dennis -
Looks like you have landed on your feet, the house looks great so enjoy moulding it to how you want it. Cheers Dennis

I was on the Hannants website checking for the sttus of my Kotare Spitfire order when I strayed and ordered this: I don't normally build Luftwaffe stuff but now and again I will build one as a stress free build, which means I don't have to worry too much about accuracy just get on with the build. Besides I find the desert scheme very attractive. Cheers Dennis

Now that really does look the part, nice job. Cheers Dennis -
Clear the Bench! It's Kotare Spitfire time!
Spitfire replied to GazzaS's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Now that looks good, I always prefer a positive attachment on parts rather than just dabbing glue on. Cheers Dennis -

Nice result you navigated around the decal problems nicely but that is why I usually paint markings, that and the fact that I am rubbish at decals. Cheers Dennis -

Thanks for posting this, it does look pretty awesome, should get mine soon. Cheers Dennis -
Normally I use either Xtracolor or Colourcoats so the finish is already glossy, but the times that I have used Modelmaster paints I did not use a gloss coat before using masks and it went well. These are all masked on Modelmaster enamel (green) and Colourcoats (black). Cheers Dennis

I nearly always use Montex, or Top Notch masks, the Montex have such a huge range of subjects and the Top Notch are good quality as well as the fact that they do custom masks. Top Notch also do camouflage masks. I have used Maketar Kabuki ones but had problems picking the masks out from the sheet as the cuts are so thin that you cannot see the outline, I did try sanded pencil lead to pick them out but it was not very good. The other thing that I do is de tack the masks on my hand or a window to cut down on paint pull off the model. Cheers Dennis

Looking good Peter, I too had a short replacement aileron and had to use some shimming. Cheers Dennis -
Hobbycraft P-51 finished

That looks really great and it is very nice to see one of those built. Cheers Dennis -
They sure do, very distinctive. Cheers Dennis

Shame, a 1/32 scale Fulmar and Battle would spring open my wallet so fast. Cheers Dennis -

Looking like a Spitfire now. Cheers Dennis -
I really feel for you Harv, I've been through it twice and I know it's not any fun, just fill the days and do stuff that you enjoy, I even made out a wish list of all the stuff that I had always wanted or wanted to do. One of those wish list items was to be able to buy a 1/48 Tamiya Lancaster and a 1/32 Matchbox Spitfire 22/24, the latter I had lusted after every morning as it was in the shop window of my local newsagents shop and I used to pass it on my way to work. This restarted my adventures of building scale models which continues to this day. Cheers Dennis

Coming along nicely (as usual). Cheers Dennis

All very useful information, thank you for posting it up, I may have to build an early Mustang one day so all info is appreciated.. Cheers Dennis
-
Nice summary, I do like the early Allison Mustangs, shame they are so neglected by the mainstream model makers. Cheers Dennis
-
Coming along nicely, I've always wanted to build an RAF early mustang, but as usual too little time too many kits. Cheers Dennis

Looking good, that Quinta set looks like a vast improvement on what is in the box. Cheers Dennis -

That looks pretty amazing, I will have to investigate the Quinta options on my next Spitfire build. Cheers Dennis
