Supermarine Spitfire MkVa

Zimmermaniac
kicked off - must say, except for the horrible canopy, all falls together well

Philip De Keyser
looking great Zimmy, keep the pix comming, greetz Phil

Bill Gilman
Looking good - what's wrong with the canopy?

Zimmermaniac
canopy lacks detailling and is awfull thick

stefan natus
Is the wing root fit decent?nice start btw.

Lionel Marco
It looks good so far... Have fun!

Zimmermaniac
@ Stefan: the wing root fit gives no troubles at all, only a little bit mr surfacer 1000 required to fill some minor holes

Zimmermaniac
Stefan, there's a pic of the added wings, ya can see for yourself now, no problems at all at the wingroots

stefan natus
Ok thx.Your going fast,it's a pity about the thick canopy.

Zimmermaniac
camothingies are done

Zimmermaniac
finished the " fishing " line 🙂

Bill Gilman
Looks very nice! I have a Mk.1 in my stash that I want to do in the early war camo. Which paints did you use?

scalemates
Nice spit!

Zimmermaniac
@ Bill : I used gunze white green, dark earth and dark green

Christian Lehmann
Result looks good but fit seems to be bad or?

Zimmermaniac
fit is good Christian, exept for the canopy, my model could have been better though if I'd spend more time, but I wanted to finish this in minimum o' time

Christian Lehmann
Assumed the bad fit because the lot of putty displayed on some fotos

Zimmermaniac
the lot o' putty was only required at the endfit of wings and fuselage, for the rest it's a very fine kit

Christian Lehmann
o.k. - never form an opinion about fotos 🙂

Philip De Keyser
Nice job zimmy, you are going fast man, greetz Phil

Zimmermaniac
been fooling around with vallejo silver and pastel chalks asa try out, must say I'm not dissappointed for the first time

Bill Gilman
So if you're "not" disappointed, then you must like the results? I like them! 🙂

Christian Lehmann
The efect looks good. A realy heavy worn aircraft.
Btw: I also tried vallejo silver on on the tracks of my sherman. This is the best silver color I ever used. I scraped my revell and humbrol silver now.

Frank Krause
Great job! Like it, too!

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Wowwww,Zimmi!
First try ??? Suberb job you did with the silver chipping.Great model. Like it much :-D

Zimmermaniac
not really the first time around with the silver chipping, but the fooling around with pastel chalks

Heico van der Heide
I like the total but the chipping is a bit too much for my taste. Allthough it looks realistic on the wings is a bit too much looking from the front.

Zimmermaniac
yep, should have been a little more subtile on the leading edges

Holger Kranich
Ah, there it is! Well done zimmi! Look's fkn great!😢

Heico van der Heide
Ah, you win some, you loose some. Not every model is perfect. I like the overall look though and you've gained some skills in the meantime, of niet dan😉

Zimmermaniac
yep, was fun om te doen, en ben nog niet tevreden, de kleuren kunnen nog een ietsie meer fading gebruiken , nog wat aan de slag met geel en wit, subtiel dan 🙂

Lionel Marco
Good job,but I don't like the way you chipped the paint: it's too much...
