Global Scale Modeller

I just completed this model for a spitfire group build I was involved with.

This was the first model airplane I have built in over 20 years and it helped to get me back into the hobby. Since it was my first build in a long time, there are some areas that need improvement, but overall I think it came out pretty good.

I used Eduard photoetch, montex masks, MIG pigments for the engine, and AK interactive african dust effects, and streaking grime(for the engine).



















Cheers

Well done, love the weathering!

Great build mate love the weathering.

Superb looking Spitfire, Sir...

Loving that GG

Absolutely top drawer General, your mate in the cockpit is brilliant, I love the Dunlop on the tyres as well. Really really good....

Tim

this is a real beaut, i watched the allies in Tunisia, after seeing this build, the diorama is fantastic, you must be chuffed with the finished set up, very nice indeed.
Tom

very nice work, really like the neat finish


great job mate



Shane

Nice work on the Spitfire mate !
Very well done

I am just working on my first model in 18 years and will be happy if mine is half as good. You must of been a lot better than me before you took a break

Its hard to believe you took a break for 20 years, that is one hell of a nice looking Spitfire
Well done

Heya..thanks!

Well I took a break from doing the historical scale modelling. I did wargame for about 10 years(warhammer 40k...etc), which involved painting miniature figurines, and sci fi based vehicles.

Historical modeling is much more challenging IMO.

Not to say that sci fi stuff couldn't be challenging, but in general the figures and tanks are designed for ease of painting and thus are "heroic" scale, not "true scale".

Really nice job ! The figure is very well achieved , and the overall diorama is just great !
