SPA Modeler

Thanks Steve!

Creeping along here... I've pulled back some of the cockpit masking so that I could add the scratchbuilt brace and fuel fill nozzle.


The whole model was given a flat coat, Model Master Clear Flat Acryl. The sliding canopy was unmasked just to see how bad the crack looks. The crack is small but unavoidably noticeable.


The windscreen masking was left in place since I've not done any weathering yet. There should be a decent view into the cockpit with the windscreen masking removed and the pilot door posed open.


Pausing again at this stage. Painting is done but weathering has not started.

Such an elegant looking plane

Thanks Johnny! I've always been fascinated by the 5-prop,Griffon-powered Spitfires so I'm really glad this conversion came out.

I think this stage is a good time to put this build on hold until I get the replacement canopy from Tamiya. I'm going to spin up a few things to occupy my time until then.

Wow, that's some beautiful work and paint!

Oh my! This is really starting to look outstanding!
