GB-62 1/48 Spitfire Mk Vb - Spitfires (1 Viewer)

Some more cockpit work, seat and bulkhead done and instrument panel painted. It is tough trying to add small parts with that bulky bandage on my thumb but it is looking better. I took the bandage off to change it and the drill actually entered my thumb just behind the nail. The wife thinks I may lose the nail.

When the Ikea instructions read 'hit the nail solidly', were the illustrations not clear enough? I need to look more closely at your posts

Thanks, bottom sprayed light sea grey.

Nice. You can only just see the difference from the plastic grey.

Looks good

I have the dark green sprayed, now for the final color ocean grey. This green looks too dark to me but it is the same dark green I used on my Airfix Mk. XII.

Nice. Background may be the culprit

Should be fine once the grey is down and decals on. Also if you are applying a flat coat, that should lighten it a bit.

I'm sure she'll be right when done.

Thanks, the Tamiya full size camouflage sheet is most useful for marking out and masking the final top color.

Do that myself. Printed off 4 copies for future use

Tamiya has, and does, provide many builder friendly features. The full scale camo being one of the most useful. This along with their usually superb mold and fit kits, are one of the reasons that I will choose them as a first choice selection for a model kit. A pity, they are not that deep into providing a very large type selection!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I find them very useful and always keep the master clean for future use.

 

[Crimea_River]

Likewise.

Painting done. On with the build then decals.
