A first foray, (well, for many years), into the quarter scale.

👍
I switched 25 years ago - never regretted it

@Thomas: this may be the build on the cusp of a realisation....I'm beginning to struggle with its smaller sibling, the 72nd...

@Roland, many thanks. That's motivation to get this, (and P-61B/Tu-128M), all done!

Looking really good so far Andy, I like it. I have got so many 1/72 kits to build I can't justify a foray into 1/48....yet 🙂

@Guy: yup, I've got many 72nds to finish, one day..., however the issues that the Arma Hurricane raised and my desire to show more of the plane, means I'm drawn up a scale. I just need to see how many of the bigger WW2 bombers are available?

Looking nice but no red crowbars until after the war.

Determined to have this finished by the 15th, Battle of Britain day, (I know, it's a Mk.Vb...but it's a Spit)

This Spit is really looking great Andy, I hope you meet your target of completion by tomorrow.. 🙂

Working those washes Guy...it'll be nearly complete.....

So here in the UK it's the 80th anniversary of the turn of the tide for the Battle of Britain. Essentially my country's been dining out on this magnificent achievement for this length of time! So what better way to announce said anniversary?....a Spitfire Vb !!!!(that never fought- in case you were going to comment!)

@Roland:thanks!!....re. oils: I've used them before and managed to wear off the paint underneath when using the turpentine: so my technique needs adapting. I have a tube of burnt umber to play around on the 2 Lancasters I'm putting together- I'll try them on the internals first.
