Restoration Revell Spitfire Mk.XVI/IX

I have a question. Why a model from such an old matrix? I have several similar ones, but they have no alternative. And to be honest, I'm a little scared to start them. I'll be keeping an eye on that! 🙂

hello Живко Джаковi!!
It's a restoration (practice) of a model I made when I was a teenager in the 90s. I found a box at my parents' house with all the ones that have survived time, some almost complete from being stored in bags, most of them poorly built, poorly painted , with dirt... so I decided to redo them, remove the paint, take off pieces and rebuild, and out of nostalgia.
It is helping me to put into practice what I have learned over the years and of course there are more current alternatives and that I have, I prefer to put techniques into practice here and then do them in new molds. With a little work and care you can make very decent models despite their age.
For example, in this model I am going to try to make the roundels and numerals with masks and an airbrush.
Don't be afraid!

Yes, there's a reason for each model choice. I, despite my fears, bought Arifix's Bonbar.
