Hi
I thought I would post a couple of pictures of the spitfire I made. It’s the old Tamiya 1/48 one with an Eduard PE set with it. Please feel free to comment good and bad,
Cheers

Thanks for the comments, my only bits I'm not so keen on is the paint chipping and the aerial, its not attached so well.
Unfortunatly I never took any pictures during the build....

Tim, nice job on the Spit. How did you accomplish the wash, I noticed the camlocks on the underside of the cowling and could pick out the philip insertion slots. Again nice job.

Hey
Thanks for the comments, the washes were all done using Promodeller washes. I've used these a couple of times and find they are quite good to work with.
Below is the website with the info including video's on how to use etc.
