Hi again.
I finished it! (pretty much). Sorry to cut right to the chase, but I've been busy with non-modelling related work, unfortunately.
Here are some shots. You'll note I haven't been very historically accurate. For the engine, I used colours of a contemporary spitfire, because I liked the contrasts more. And the weathering may or may not be appropriate for this particular spitfire, but once I got started, well I was just enjoying it too much.
I do like the way the chipping on the small foil panels went, although I had some trouble with masking tape pulling the foil up later on. I will probably use this technique again, but I will use a stronger adhesive next time.
Incidentally, this is a good example of how photos represent colour very different depending on the light (just noticed this now).
Anyhow, please enjoy. Feedback welcome.
