| 1/72 Airfix Spitfire Mk1 Heya, just thought I'd post my progress since a few of you have helped me out  And I just worked out how to use my camera a little better, though it still need some work >< Have just finished painting the main coats. ( I had a vendetta with the masking tape so gave up with that for now and decided to see how steady my hand was. Will try another model once I get some other tape) I tried using the decals with the kit, but apparantly the brown paper ones are ..a bit rubbish. And yus they did break apart a bit, hence a little scuffage where I took them off >< Would like some recommendations for some replacements if anyone has one! Anywho, this is what it looks like at the moment.   Any advice for a modeller returning would be appreciated \o/ Last edited by Pusskyfly; 08-14-2009 at 09:45 AM. |

| Looking good so far mate! Great find too, Wojtek! Myself, I have Airfix's markings for Mk.II XT-D going spare if you need them. |

| The decal set is really nice.I have used it as well for my Airfix Spitfire Mk.IIA of 303 Polish sqadron I made a few years ago.The only corrections were the Pitot tube which was of the early variant and the spinner..Also I added a back mirror at the top of windshield.

| With Alex and VB! What was the spinner modification? Shorter 'blunter' type (like the Mk.Va)? |

| Looking nice, will watch with interest - my next build will be the Airfix Mk 1 but I'm thinkling of gracing it with some IIb decals (will I get away with that?) |
