Without my glasses I can see that a few beers it won't be enough. A big box...
SE makes very good models but photos....He has to get more trainings or beer.
 
Well a few days back I decided to dust off my old 1:48 airfix Spitfire Vc and finally finished it today. Now as you can see from my pics, I'm no modeller, the box said skill level 2, which is two grades above me. It was painted with a brush from an unsteady hand and a bad eye for detail, but atleast it looks like a spit. Anyway it represents an aircraft from 79 sqn RAAF based on Kiriwina Is, New Guinea. All coments, critisism and jokes welcome!

That's a lovely paint job, Wildcat, and not just especially as it's brushed!

I'm still a brush painter too, but have decided to finally go the whole hog and get an airbrush, now that it seems I've finally settled. Will post a seperate thread for advice regarding choice of airbrush, etc.

BTW, Wildcat, weren't RAAF Spitty prop blades painted with yellow tips?
 
I've seen Israeli Spits with straight black blades, that's why I asked, and also because I'll be making ICM's 1/48 USAAF Spit Mk.VIII eventually as an Aussie machine. (Probably as UP-F 'Have a go Jo', because Ivett prefers the paint scheme over the Grey Nurse ones!)
