Mark Deliduka Posted April 23, 2023 Report Posted April 23, 2023 Dave that is another masterfully finished model! You sure have some mad skills man! 1
ghodges Posted April 23, 2023 Report Posted April 23, 2023 Super looking Spitfire! I especially like the tightness of the camo pattern, which looks quite authentic to me. Congrats, and thanks for sharing! Gil 1
66Foxtrot Posted April 25, 2023 Report Posted April 25, 2023 That's a great looking Spitfire! Also, where did you get the nameplate from?
Dakimbrell Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Posted April 25, 2023 The name plates I make on the computer at home. Sometimes I use the Microsoft Publisher program and sometimes a greeting card publisher program picked up Office Depot. I actually got the idea some 15 years back from John Charvat of AMPS. I print it on photo paper and then cover it with laminate material or clear packing tape. Once cut out of the paper, the edge was colored with a marker to match the background. (Cover it before cutting it out of the paper.) It was then glued onto the base with clear Elmer's glue. I also use the same program to make a sign for a diorama, too. Dak

flightpath Posted September 20, 2023 Report Posted September 20, 2023 Lovely build sir. The weathering you did on the underside just behind the prop looks so real. How was the Kotare kit overall? I've been wanting to build a Spitfire for my English father-in law and I have the Tamiya 1/48 mk 1 in my stash but I haven't build a 1/32 scale bird in a while.
