Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk1 vs BF109E-4

Post by ElCapitan »

Here is my finished display of the Airfix 1/72 "Dogfight Doubles" Supermarine Spitfire Mk1 and Messerschmitt BF109E-4.

The 109 was brush-painted, and my experience and skill level has come on leaps and bounds since I completed that one, so the two planes look like they were made by completely different modellers :lol: I quite like that though, it shows me how I've improved.

The Spit is painted free-hand using an airbrush, with minimal weathering as I thought it would suit the display better.

Shame about the cheesy Airfix stand...

Pleased to have this one finished.

Both very nice but you're right- you can see the progression.

Dog fight doubles. Brings back happy memories.

Lovely stuff.
