**** DONE: GB-62 1/48 Spitfire Mk.Ia - Spitfires

[Vic Balshaw]

A nice smooth finish Vic. Seems the green background pushes the brown to the green side.

Thanks guys and that is true Andy but when I've got the green on it should come right.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

A few days of fiddling, a coupe of mishaps and a few upsets, nothing major of course and were almost at the decal stage.

Colour is a bit off in these, it's now pitch black outside and these are just by my magnifier lamps.

Good work so far Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

My thanks Gentlemen for your interest and encouragement.

Well, were almost done. Decals are on though I must say that they were a bit of a bother, not so much in placing them but in getting them to bed down, the are very thick and not conducive to showing the underlying detail. I've given them some very good soaks today with micro sol but there still very resistant.

With luck tomorrow I'll get all the little bits on and a final dull spray before wiring it up and fitting the canopy and armour windscreen.

Really nice camouflage, Vic.

Seeing these works by Spitfire, the desire to make one grows more and more
