Airfix 1:72 Mk Ia Spitfire

[Mike T.C.S.M]

just started this Today. I've cleaned up some parts and done some painting

Cockpit parts sniped and cleaned up

And the pilot partly painted

I think I'm getting better with my picture taking

It's always nice to see a Spit being built. You don't see many kits that come with a pilot figure which is something i really like .
As far as photos goes (and i am no expert on this) try shooting them from bigger distance. I usually shoot with my phone and that's the only way i can get 'normal' photo... It won't be a close-up but it will be clearer.

Cheers!

Hi ya DB . Nice to see a little Spit on the go Looks like there is quite a bit of detail in the cockpit ! ...must have a look at them ...need to get a move on with mine too :

 

[Mike T.C.S.M]

Well its a replacement for the one i was helping my one of my brothers build but made a muck up putting the cockpit in and wrecked it. Then I've got to build his Me Bf 110 ten because He finds the amount of bit daunting. Its a good job I love this hobby.

Chris.

 

[Mike T.C.S.M]

Well there would be no IP with out it because its smooth plastic underneath

 

[Chris S]

Yeah ,thats true ...but remember ,there never used to be a cockpit in the old Arfix kits

Chris.

Well before comming back to the hobby nearly two years this comming september to noverber time. I used to slap the kit togetter not taking much notice of the detail and just slaping paint decals on and hoping for the best. but I'm slowly learning the right ways from a lot of the other's on here. Which I'm greatful to be part such a welcoming comunity ;D

Coming along nicely, and fast too. Keep up the good work, i am following .

Cheers!
