1/32 Spitfire Mk.VIII ‘Bobby’ Gibbs - Home Country Modern Aircraft/Spitfire Marks GB

[Wayne Little]

Thanks guys, I WILL get it right, a fine brush and steady hand will save the day!

only had time to add the rear part of the sharkmouth today....again wasn't perfect some slicing was in order but this one went down a bit better.

Sure looks like they need to revise that decal format... keep at it mate, should be sweet once you're done with it.

looking good, despite the decals best efforts Wane

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks fellas, did the first stage of improving the decals with some initial paint touchups....certainly looks better!

Nicely done Wayne. I've never liked large, 'wrap around' or curved decals - always expect (and normally get!) problems with them! Got some large ones to cover the fin and fuselage spine of the 1/32nd scale Hawk, which I'm not looking forward to!

Nice recovery Wayne. I think if you had only posted the solution shot, nobody would have been able to tell you had any problems with the decals.

Cheers,

Gerry

Excellent work Wayne! The recovery job has turned out really nicely.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks very much guys, just a bit more touch up for my satisfaction....

Started on the decals on the underside of one wing....as i feared some more cracking on the roundel, thankfully the white stayed pretty much intact so fixing the Blue should not be a problem. The stencil decals are different much like standard type tamiya decals, these went on easy and snuggled into panel lines real good!

Looks like it'll work out OK Wayne. Those ejector slots and gun heating vents are a pain on all Spit models. Just noticed that vent too - they're normally the other way around, but I'd need to check for the MkVIII - surely Tamiya haven't got it wrong !?

 

[Crimea_River]

I've always had trouble in the same place.

Lovely work so far Wayne!
