Jeroenveen1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This is my Tamiya 1:32 Spitty Mk IX, build about a year and a half ago. I was mightily impressed with all the detail but I wanted to add a bit extra, so I devoted quite some time to wiring up the engine. She is painted entirely with Xtracolor paints, and the codes and other insigna's have been done with Mal Mayfields Miracle Masks. Smaller stenciling was done with the kit decals. Wshes were donde with Promodeller Sludge, which was a first for me … but which I liked very much. The red centre dot is almost orange in the pics, which is caused by my clumsiness with the camera… it is red :-). This is how she turned out…. hope you enjoy the pics, all comments welcome as usual. Happy modeling, Jeroen 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hi Jeroen. I like this build very much. Beautiful paint and really subtle weathering! Congrats, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2013 Another fine fine build. Very subtle. Love it. Still in the middle of this kit myself, but put aside for some nice WnW distraction. Just recieved the Sopwith Snipe (thank you you know who!). So I don't think my spit will progress any time soon. Thnx for the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted March 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2013 I adore that camo. You did a far more natural edging to it than I did on mine. Mine looks crap in comparison: Agreed that it's a corker of a kit. Now.....where's that Corsair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey boyer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I simply LOVE this build. Everything about it is way above par , except one little detail. The RED pry bar. This drives me nuts. Only ones that were re are restored airframes......Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVAModeler Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Wow, what a Spit. I love it. Stunning. I am going to get this kit too, but can only hope for this sort of result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroenveen1 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks gentlemen, for all the kind words. Yes, the red bar is incorrect and although I intended to change it, now really is the moment to do so. The result has more to do with the excellent plastic Tamiya provides than with my modeling skills, but I'm happy with the way she came out. Thanks again for all your kind and motivating remarks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
