Spitfire mk.IX in Italian (A.M.I.) service
Not so easy to glue the two parts...
Next step: filler!
Working on the last pieces and filling here and there
Really surprised by the overall quality of the Lifecolor "True metal" acrylic that made me obtain a very good finish!
(... some flaws to be corrected...)
(... some flaws to be corrected...)
Festive work: on landing gears bays...
...on finishing the nmf...(Actually, it was not a NMF, but a silver paint applied over the original camouflage, so some imperfections were visible)
...and on the canopy
Starting decals...For the roundels I picked the 8mm from the Sky sheet
Ps don't mind the AK on the right, for this project I'm using only the Lifecolor on an the left 😉
Washing using a blue enamel and the Zippo liquid 🙂
Sitting and waiting for the last touchups
The anti-glare paint was still”fresh”: I used two parts of dark green and a part of black

Thanks to all of you mates!
@Andy: after the WWII Italy needed lots of aircrafts so UK and USA were glad to provide them 😉

Moreno, well in keeping with Italian style, you got the best looking single engined plane around!

Thank to all the mates that left a like or a comment!
I'm doing my best, and also if the kit is not recent, it has very subtle details.
Still to work a bit on some junctions 😉

Thank you Guy! The camera revealed some imperfections that the eyes didn't get. No problem, still some work to do😀
BTW Not very happy about the new liquid for decals I used, I found that the decals didn't react so much...

A small update, with the decals on the lower side of the wings.
The liquids are in reality very good, the problem is that the roundels from the Sky sheet are really rigid...

Washing done, in order to highlight the panels...Some problems with the silver finish, next time I'll apply twice.
Anyway, satisfied with the overall aspect of the plane!

Final clear layer applied, just missing the antenna, the wires and the landing gear

After another round of Flu, I'm working on the last steps. Yes, I know, I have to improve on the junctions...
...But, al in all, I like it!

Dear all, I declare this model finished. I did some errors, but, as written above, I like it!

Ciao. Cos'è un Kp? Era il meglio con l'Eduard… Penso che te lo copierò perché incidentalmente io sono nato nel 1964… Sarebbe sfizioso farlo con le insegne mezze inglesi e mezze italiane..(dal libro di Gueli/Alegy il FT-O-T…
HI. What is a Kp? It was the best with the Eduard… I think I'll copy it because incidentally I was born in 1964… It would be fanciful to do it with the half-English and half-Italian signs..(from the Gueli/Alegy book the FT-O-T…

For all the mates: as Massimo wrote In italian, I'll reply in Italian 😉
Ciao Massimo, è l'italeri, volevo fare un build veloce e provare le nuove decals della Tauro. Ho anche l'Eduard e l'AZ da fare 😉
Copia pure, le decals sono molto interessanti e corrette 🙂
