1/72 Spitfire MkVb

[FTS]

This is another kit that i'm working on at the moment. No where near as pleasing as the Mustang but it's one that's been in the stash for a while and I've wanted to build it.

Looking forward to this and the `stang Steve.

Although don`t cock up the `stang.., otherwise Mosquito will be `aving a word`....

Paddy - I'll be building the RAF scheme on the box.

TC - If in doubt, ask Mosquito

Looking forward to seeing this and how well it goes together as I've got one in the pile waiting to be built once I can the right decals.

I'll be working on this from this afternoon and through tomorrow so hopefully i'll have some progress to show you

Reet, the main build part is done. I have to say, considering people on different forums have offered praise for this kit, I think the fit is quite poor IMO. The wing/fuselage fit is shocking with a good 2/3mm gap. It's nothing that can't be easily sorted with plenty of filler, which is todays job.

Well I opted to work on this today rather than me struggle away with the airbrush on the Eagle. It's all brush painted bar the yellow bands since I really didn't fancy tackling yellow with the hairy stick. I've got a bit of polishing to do on the canopy and a bit of over spray on the cannons. I'll have this finished tomorrow.
