Tamiya 1:32 Spitfire Mk.IX

[Mish]

Built this one over Christmas/New Year 2012/2013.

 

A great kit, really enjoyed building it. Decaled with OH Decals. I think, with the benefit of hindsight I should have added a light panel wash.

 

Although I was pleased with it, imagine my surprise when it won 3rd place in 1:32 and above class at Southern Expo 2013.

Nice livery Mish, good to see a French Spitfire for a change.

Beautiful job, my favourite aircraft in French markings and desert colours which I'm also partial to.

 

Cheers

Lovely finish! Lemme guess, you like the Frenchies? I DO see a pattern emerging....

"Level finish" should've been "Lovely finish!" Damn autocorrect!

Thank you, it was a spur of the minute decision to go with the French option, but one I have not regretted.

This is the one that awakened my fondness for French markings and aircraft.

 

Earth, Spit & Sky - this one swings. 

 

Yep, works for me as well.

Nice looking Spit. The engine looks fantastic and I wouldn't regret not using a wash on the plane as a whole. The panel lines are very visible and the other, subtle weathering features set it off nicely. I think it looks very realistic and sometimes "less is more".

Thanks John, the engine is OOB as far as I can remember
