repeater Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Finally - just in time for the Spitfire GB, here is my Spitfire Mk VIII, built for the Pacific War GB right here on LSM. I'm yet to post the final pics - so here they are. Firstly, a big call out and huge THANKS to Dave J for supplying the decals. Dave - this one is for you. I added the following to the excellent Tamiya kit: From BarracudaCast BR32001 - Seat with leather backpad BR32003 - Cockpit upgrade set (stick, throttle etc. includes cockpit stencils) BR32002 - Door with separate crowbar BR32010 - Z-block 4 slot mainwheels (for Australian Spitfire VIII's) Decals are also from BarraCudaCals I also added - HGW Sutton Harness - Eduard exterior PE (in the end I used very little). Paints used were Gunze Mr Color. Weathering was the usual mix of pre/post shading, oils, washes etc. This was my first Tamiya 1/32 superkit - it was an immensely enjoyable (and very long) build. Highly recommended.

repeater Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks all! No worries Tim, I am glad that I could help you out! Fantastic finish! So you going to do another one for the Spit GB then? Dave, yes I'm thinking of a Mk. IX (classic eg. Johnnie Johnson) or 453 Squadron with full D-Day stripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nice work Tim, especially like the weight effect on the undercarriage due to the heavy bombs. Cees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
