USN VCS-7 Spitfire Mk Vb

[DBII]

Here are some photos.

1. 2. This is my second attempt on the white strips.

3. Bottom side view. I repainted the wheel wells the correct color. I suspect the bad picture is do to the low battery power.

4. I have complete the light sea grey coat.

I am still learnng how to use the camera. I hope to have better pics the next time. I am having a problme with camera shake and with the fixed focus. I had to fill and sand the wing tips and a spot where the wings joined the fusalage on the bottom. Other than thant, it was a nice quick and easy build.The hard part will be painting the 4Q squadron markings. More photos later.

I added the black strips. The right wing and left wing does not match. I am not going to try again. It is less than 1/8 inch off. Just enough not make me crazy. I taped off the fusalage and noticed the bands were to wide. I will try again tonight. Once the strips are done, I will attempt cutting the mask for the markings. I think that 4Q will be to easiest to make. After that, I can finish the painting.

photos, I am sorry about the size. I cannot edit them at the library. I will buy a drink to anyone that can resize these. They will look better once reduced. I have repainted the strips and added the dark grey. The white section forward of the cockpit is where I will have to mask off the unit markings
