1/24 Airfix Spitfire Mk1a

--------------------

 

I have been modelling since I was 8yrs old (30yrs) and ARC has opened my eyes to what people can achieve.  I know I'm no where near as good, but this is the first time I've used an airbrush in conjunction with some of the excellent tips from these pages, and I'm chuffed.  As they say things can only get better (I hope).

The model itself was cheap from ebay, Was built oob, a mixture of bad fitting and big sausage sized fingers meant plenty of mistakes (like forgetting to put the gunsight in doh!) and plenty of filler, the decals were crap (they broke up), so I just did what I could with them. I know its not accurate but there you go.  This was just an experiment to try all the new tips I read about.  Any criticism welcomed gladly.  Keep up the good work.

cheers,

Chris
