  Hello ARC!

  Here is my Revell/Monogram Spitfire, built completely OOB as Douglas Bader's airplane.  There are more detailed Spitfire kits available, but despite it's age, this one can still be made up into a nicely detailed kit, with little effort, and is still detailed enough to stand on its own, (in my humble opinion!)

  I used Model Master Acryl paints through my airbrush for the camouflage after giving it a silver primer coat from a spray can and a bit of pre-shading.  I scraped away some of the paint with my fingernails where i wanted bare metal showing, and used soft pastels to replicate engine exhaust, gunpowder and a bit of mud thrown up towards the wings (from landing on wet, grassy muddy airfields).

  The base is another find from the thrift store (bases are cheaper there!) with a layer of spackle, smeared liberally with brown poster paint, then covered with grass and bushes from Woodland Scenics. 

  Thanks for looking - CHEERS!!!

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
