Mk.I Spitfire BoB

[Rod Bettencourt]

 

 Spitfire Mk.I 234 squadron August 1940. Quinta cockpit and HGW seatbelts were used. Paints were model master. I ended up using the kits decals which were just fantastic. I was waiting for an overcast day to get that England airfield look. Pics were taken with my Iphone in California Central valley. I Tried some studio type pics but I am terrible at doing that. I am not a photographer in any since.  Outside photos are far easier for me. In the end it will look scale, or it will not. I sure look forward to more kits from Kotare.

Thanks

Rod Bettencourt

It's dirty! I love it! Nice job. I got a lot of side glances for my dirt ball spitfire last year at the show. But that's how they need to look. IMO.

 

Is the seatbelt supposed to levitate like that?!?

Looks fantastic, good that you are no photographer, if you were, we wouldn´t post our meagre pictures anymore . Best of all, paint, finish and weathering match perfectly.

Cheers Rob

The answer is no, with that said I had them loose at that point of the build. Thanks for your kind words.
