Final Result
Preparing for the black walkways
this weekends work
Montex masks used for Type B roundels
detail from previous picture - how could this be done with decals? The blue is from Vallejo and the red is Gunze (50% diluted)
before some postshading with heavy diluted black
all markings are airbrushed
filled the ejector marks and opened the exhausts
yellow not broad enough and Jan Zumbach had a white strip
props are still the wrong shape to me but the painting is now ok
before oil wash
now with burnt umber oil wash on the underside
Panel wash on the left side completed ..
now both sides with panel wash
painting and washing finished
same picture as before - just a little bit enlarged
again same picture even more enlarged - sorry about the dust
I just love the orange belly light

Album info
I got this kit for almost nothing at an exhibition with the intention to use only the control stick for another project. But I think it is a pity to throw away this beautiful kit so I bought the Techmod decals to build it into Jan Zumbach's Spitfire.
