i know this is a plane and this is a car forum, but, i've spent the last month or so on this model and it is because of this model that i have stopped working on the Volvo.
it's an Airfix 1:48 Submarine Spitfire mk Vb. i bought it in September with the intention of building it for my sister as her Christmas present.
I started work on it at the beginning on December. I am really pleased with the pilot, he looks really good with the detail. I also, for the first time, used filler on this model and removed the joining lines running along the body where the two sides meet and the lines between the body and the wings. I am really pleased with the finish of these.
Made a bit of a mess up of the painting tho. the kit comes with the option of building it to the spec. of two different squadrons, only i forgot about this. when i looked the at instructions first it said to paint the body 64 (grey primer) then when i looked again it said 94 (beige). I thought i had read the colours wrong and repainted it...only to relise that i wasn't wrong. but, i wanted this squadron anyway.
pics below. decals are taking ages and are very tricky.
hope you like it
