My First EVER Spitfire Model

[MSea]

For the April competition have decided the background story to this model and how to go about making it ( Neil thinks the background story is strange and wonders what I will do to one of his beloved Spitfires - hohohho)
First coat of humbrol aluminium on the body parts - when dry will add some chipping medium and the camouflage colours to the bits, then remove most of them - then its on with the build 
If anybody has a spare decal/transfer of 1/72 scale roundels and the letters "U and F" and the number "2" please let me know.

I probably have some roundels, but they may not be correct. I know as much about these things as you.
I was taken to task by our leader for my incorrect camouflage on the last one I built.

[MSea]

Thanks Zak they would be great - just wait till Neil sees what I will do to his beloved Spitfire -

[chriswil42]

I have some roundels. What size are the letters and number?

[MSea]

Neil will give you the answer to within 1/100mm - to me about 3 or 4 mm high

[zak]

I have just made some decals for mine

[MSea]

Is that the correct camouflage and those decals will never pas muster with Neil - hohoho - other than that it looks good

[MSea]

Chipping fluid and top colour added - now off for a coffee and then start removing most of the colour - -- hohohho - sorry Neil

Look digital to me.

[MSea]

Paint removed -- will walk away and then look again to see if it needs more removing.

No, hand painted on some decal sheet.

Wings fitted to the main body - hohohho - how do you think it will fly Neil

I think the ground is looking good.
I never picked one up on Wednesday night but found a spitfire in the loft, I?ll make that one if nobody minds.
