Mish Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Revell 1:32 Spitfire Mk.IIa (Backdated to Mk.Ia) QV-K P9386 19 Sqn Pilot S/L Brian Lane and F/L Walter Lawson Kit: Revell 1:32 Spitfire Mk.IIa Decals: EagleCal EC#157 Paint: AK Interactive Sundries: Mig AMMO Washes, Tamiya Weathering System, HGW Harness, Aires cockpit PE & Wheels, Barracuda Oil Cooler, Top Notch Camo Masks WIP Thread: LINK I'm really impressed with this kit, Revell have done us proud for the cost. Okay I have thrown a few extra at it that tripped the price but I'm really happy with the way she turned out. My first time using camo masks and I really must thank Sean who supplied me with the masks and quite a bit of help in using them. I really can recommend them, so much easier than Whitetac 'worms'. The EagleCal decals were on the thick side and need a few coats of Mr Mark Softener to get them to pull down. I hope it was worth the wait and thanks for looking. 11
Administrators James H Posted December 30, 2015 Administrators Posted December 30, 2015 VERY nice! A much maligned kit (in some quarters), but looks great when done 1
ThomasProbert Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 A lovely job, Mish. I have this in the stash and seeing this is inspiring me to dig it out! Will hopefully see your Spit at a show or two in the coming year. Tom 1
Thomas_Lund Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Beautiful build (did the same bird a few months ago, also from the Revell kit+Barracuda bits), really turned out nice !! 1
Mish Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Thank you all, she turned out pretty good, I know there is some errors on her but the next one will be better. I'm indebted to James H (Jim) and his wonderful ADH book, next time I will try all the modifications he suggests. Right on to the 109G-10
BevanBrooks Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The camo masks look to have paid off, the decals look great also. Top notch work! Cheers Bevan. 1
Brundledonk Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Great job Mish ! Looks great as a MKI and with those large roundels. I built this a while back too and really enjoyed it, a lot of modelling fun for the money and your build shows how good this jp kit can look with some care and attention Pete 1
David Hansen Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Looks good to me from here. I'm not fluent in the shape nuances of the Spitfire, but i certainly wouldn't mistake this for a Miles Master. Sometimes i wonder if the excessive rivets Revell put on the model were an intentional jab at the British modelling community. i.e.,, they lost the war but they could get back at them by machine-gunning the British favourite in a highly systematic, precise, German sort of way. david 2
Mish Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 Finally finished my Wings Cockpit Figures pilot finished for the Spitfire, my painting of it is not as good as I would have liked but it will look okay from normal viewing distance. 2
Dennis.E Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 If I could finish a Spit like yours, I wouldn't be staring clear of them! - Fantastic job Mish! 1
nmayhew Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Definitely going to make this particular a/c I hope mine looks as good! 1
