Just sprayed the old gal in gloss ready for tomorrow's decal session.

Decided to see what I could fInd in our workshop at lunchtime for the base. Managed to "borrow " some floor insulation and ply so we're on the way with the diorama. Pantherman Pinky

Gonna be spiffy, as usual.
I dont think I'll have a diorama on this build, as I am running out of room.

This is all I have until later in the night.

If I ever build another eduard kit I will never use the decals that is comes with!
These decals have been nothing but trouble for me. They have been folding one me way too often. I have lost a few due to this fact.

Finished the the frustrating stencils

I felt the same way with the Academy decals. They curled up and weee very fragile.

Well who knew that "going shopping " didn't mean DIY, tools, hobby shops or model shops
Even if you pass them to get to all the other crap........
To be fair it was her first trip out in over a year so gotta give her that one.

I can play with my soldiers after dinner so might actually get some decals fitted today.

Got to say it's looking great Gary. Slowly catching you up. Top decals done. Bottom decals tomorrow hopefully. Pantherman Pinky

You both do amazing work. I hope I can do half as well when we do the Land Rover build.

Thanks. I've finished decals. I am having some problems with weathering and panel lines. They just don't seem up to par for me.
I'm hoping the decal setting solution sets the decals a little deeper into the panel lines

I really, really like how that camera bay looks. So well done.

Totally agree with you there Bear, it's a nice touch. Pantherman Pinky

GaryG64 · Jul 29, 2023

I'm going to call it done for this build.

I decided to make a quick little diorama and included the other Spitfire and pilot.

This was a fun build, and having built this with Pantherman aka Pinky made it that much more fun.
I appreciate all of the encouraging words with all of those who were following our build.
I look forward to another group build.
Our next one will be the Adam-12 Police Cruiser which can be found under:
Plymouth Belvedere / Adam-12 Police Car
Please join us for this group build and future builds as well. We love to watch and learn from others and their techniques.
