To my new friends at SMA.
Thank you for the recent welcome.
I have been encouraged to post a few images of my current build in progress Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire IX.
I have just completed the exterior camo paint job, airbrushed no walk lines and yellow wing edges with chipping. Almost finishing roundels and applying decals. Weathering with oils and washes to follow.
Let me know what you think. As a relative newbie your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your welcome and support.

Excellent detail work. Nice paint job on the fuselage.
Where did you get the stand?

 

[docsudy]

Hello
Thanks for your comments

I got the stand from a small business on Etsy. I will try to find the seller and send it to you. You might find it if you look up when in Etsy model plane stands

The name of the Etsy seller is TRULYLOVEUS. They make the best stands for planes,boats,tanks and trains. Not cheap but worth it.

I'm not the one to ask on that, still learning that aspect myself. I do prefer the "off of the assembly line" look.

Well, Doc - you may consider yourself a relatively newbie but you are right up there with the best - great work.

 

[docsudy]

Wow!!
Your too kind. Thank you
