Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk1a

[Emilliano]

My Latest addition to my modelling hangar a true classic which i waited for some time to make ..was a lot of fun though it was an old tooling,she had her challenges which i accepted readily.I cut the cockpit door out and positioned it,did some scratch building on the cockpit seat.The basic idea of this build was to improve my weathering techniques which i hope i did























Video of the same

Looks fine, the weathering looks great too, especially as you wont have been helped by the fact that it is an older kit with raised panel lines.

A nice piece.

Very nicely done for an old tooling my friend....
I have just brought the new tooling of this plane.
Nothing special but as a novice plane builder its an excellent cheap and cheerful kit to practice on...

This is fine work Emilliano.
Definitely a great save of an old kit.
Can't wait to see more of you work buddy

[Emilliano]

Thanks Coen for your kind words...right now i am concentrating on the Cold War GB, if i do need a refresher from the same then will be modeling the Hawker Typhoon the classic tooling version.

Very nicely modelled and finished for such an old kit, just show what can be done with kits that are usually left at the bottom of the heap. Well done.
