rieser Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hasegawa's old Spitfire Mk.I modelled as F/O Robert Stanford-Tuck's K9906 some years back. The model was rescribed, riveted, and painted using Gunze acrylics. Markings were painted on using custom masks supplied by Mal Mayfield. Recently rephotographed against a black background for posting on FB... Thanks for looking. Cheers, Ralph. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieser Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Cheers Gents - hopefully the coming Revell Spitfire (s) will hit the mark. Matt: I found these links to the 2009/10 posts. Unfortunately I can't find one that shows/describes the weathering. From memory the general grime/stains were done with Testors Dullcote tinted with very small amounts fo Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black and XF-64 Red Brown. Washes were done with cheap kid's acrylic paints, and the metallic chipping done with a 2B pencil. The topside "leaks" were done with thinned Games Workshop/Citadel Babab Black acrylic wash and a fine brush, and the underside ones with MIG 502 Abteilung Abt090 Industrial Earth. http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1258444871/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+Rivets http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1259894055/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+WIP+Cockpit http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1261273328/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+ALCLAD+II+undercoat http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1261795872/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+Undersides http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1263108755/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+WIP+Camo http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1265091602/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I++Markings http://www.network54.com/Forum/47751/message/1265333637/1-32+Hasegawa+Spitfire+Mk-I+Reworked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminsummerfield Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Becoming a rare kit now, you've really shown what can be done with it, looking forward to the Revell kit hopefully well be able to do an early Mk1 like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repeater Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Exquisite Ralph and I agree with you on the forthcoming Revell Spitfire. I remember reading Robert Stanford Tuck's biography years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I actually hadn't read who started this topic but looking at the work and the weathering my first guess turned out to be correct! Another triumph there Ralph Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
