Hi all
Model number five and the last of the Backlog.
This is the new Airfix kit built straight out of the box (boring ::)) in my defence I liked the the silver paint scheme. It's nice to see the Spitfire out of camouflage.
It is not a bad fitting kit and the decals are excellent.
It is airbrushed using Tamiya paints finished with MCN acrylic matt varnish.
Here's the pics :-

... in my defence I liked the the silver paint scheme...
Me too! Nice build, 'Mog :smiley:

Shiny and Spitfire are two words that are seldom seen together.
Definitely very nice to see a Spitfire in something other than camouflage for a change.

I, on the other hand, think a Spitfire without camouflage looks odd ... undressed, even. :-\
Very nice build, though, 'Mog! 8)
But slightly embarrassing in its nakedness. ;)

Refreshing and faster looking without war paint :smiley:

Love a silver Spit! ;)

OW :- glad you like the "plucked Spitfire"

A late model Spitfire in silver, with a splash of colour.... What's not to like :-*
The silver looks a little dull in some of the photos. It might be the lighting or reflections of surrounding items. Do you feel like experimenting with the lighting, including some natural light?

She'a a beauty! ;)

Thanks guys
Pertime :- I use a small photobooth with LED striplights and my mobile phone to take the pictures. The silver finish is flat aluminium with matt varnish finish so it will appear a little drab, for silver. ;)
Thinks :- aargh ! I could have mild whiffed it with chrome silver and really made it shiny ahhh the joys of 20/20 hindsight :icon_zombie: ;D
