Revell 1/72 Spitfire Mk V (clipped wing) completed

Hi All,

Here is a recent completion that is my first contribution to the 1/72 scale “OTS” group build. There’s some much more impressive work going on in there including A/C, Armor, dioramas . . . so feel free to check it out. (unless you DON’T like seeing talented modelers doing impresive work on really cool kits)[:O]

Overall, this 1990 Revell Germany kit is a very nicely detailed little gem with a few issues that were fairly easily corrected or “lived with”. I really enjoyed building it.

Comments/Critiques welcomed and encouraged !

Thanks,

Chris

Beautiful work there Bossman. I especially like the subtile panel line treatment. it’s not in your face but still visable. You are included in the “talented individuals” list for sure.

You did a fantastic job on this build.

Thanks Jay Jay.

I’ve gone to using much lighter shades of grey/brown/green for panel line washes. I prefer the effect I get when I use (in this case) a grey that is only a few shades darker than the base color. Then, after the dullcoat is applied, the application of some darker grey pastel chalk makes things stand out a bit more.

And thanks to you Toshi.

There are some mistakes that I made with the kit, but I’m pretty pleased with the results.

Very nice work, Thank for sharing.
