1:72 Spitfire Mk IX.c (Wg Cdr J.E. “Johnny” Johnson)

[Holden]

Looks like she is building up quite nice. Good call with adding some extras nothing wrong with improving an already nice kit.

You two are rather obsessed with paint. paint will come soon. the After-market parts came in the post to day so if I can get in to the room where I build I'll get some work done

Paint! ;D Don't mind me... ;D

I never used to like the painting portion of my builds, but now I really enjoy it. It's the light nearing the end of a build...

Your Spitfire looks like its fitting together nice. I'm not sure I saw it earlier, but which kit is this?

 

[Mike T.C.S.M]

the Airfix mark IXc kit number A02065. Ive got to send an email to them later as I've lost one of the raised gear parts

Well I've managed to muck this kit up but spraying to conflicting paints on it and wrecked the plastic. but I'll be back on it some time mid November. If I win the current Airfix competition. failing that buying a new kit

But these two should keep me busy

That sucks. What kinds of paints caused the grief for you?

 

[Mike T.C.S.M]

I put white primer over gray because I was out of gray and I had missed a spot. The white did not wreck the test Sprue. So I think there may of been a reaction of some sort reaction between the primers
