Hello my fellow SMA's:
If you recall I recently shared with you images of my Tamiya Spitfire IXc (1/32 scale) in progress. After putting on the remaining small bits, weathering and several coats of acrylic clear matt varnish I am ready to present my work to you.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome!!

If any one is interested I used the following for weathering:
Abtielung 502 oil sepia on the dorsal plane surface as a sludge wash plus burnt umber, umber, earth and black for highlights, dirt grime ect.
Ammo Mig panel line washes- blue dirt, dark sea blue on the ventral surface , plus Ammo PLW of dark brown, and kerosene and oil
and combination of black, burnt umber and brown oils and starship dirt oils for exhaust stains.
Tires were touched with blend of Ammo PLW dark brown and pacific dust and Tamiya weathering pastels
Chipping was done using Abtielung liquid rubber over a base coat of Mr Surface black 1500, followed by a coat of AKI exteme metal aluminum followed by the standard camo colors of the Spitfire.
Well that'sView attachment 123982View attachment 123983View attachment 123984View attachment 123985View attachment 123986View attachment 123987View attachment 123988View attachment 123989View attachment 123990View attachment 123991 all folks.

Love it . Amazing work

 

[Littlemarten]

Very nicely done!

 

[ModelManiac62]

Well done. I'll bet you can do a amazing WW1 plane like a Sopwith Camel or something. The WWI planes are really interesting and are probably quite challenging to build to your level of detail. Look forward to your next build. P40, Thunderbolt?

Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes I did post more recently a P47 Razorback, of course weathered and tested. Let me know what you think. By the way welcome to SMA. The people here are very welcoming and very knowledgeable. Welcome aboard

Thank you so much for noticing my work on the Spit. I tried a lot of different weathering techniques I have learned from others on site and on a few YouTube. I guess it paid off on this one. Thanks so much. really appreciate it
