A little reference work plus the wood base. Still waiting on the Vallejo Battle of Britain paint set and some clear acrylic rod for the stand.

Glued several stacked popsicle sticks into the tail with epoxy. Then used a pin vise drill to gradually make a large enough hole to receive the acrylic rod.

Drilled a similar hole into the base.

Finally got a satisfactory result with the plastic rod. May try again as this isn’t exactly right.

I should find a cheaper alternative to Tamiya tape!

Soft-edged camo is wrong for a Spitfire, but I wanted the practice. Fairly happy with it given it’s my first attempt at fine airbrush work.

Thankfully the masking held up great.

Great work in the Camo. I think the soft edges look great, regardless of if it's unorthodox.
Cheaper alternative to Tamiya tape I use is simply a big roll of fine automotive masking tape on Amazon. works out to about 25 cents a metre 😁
Just search for automotive masking tape and you should fine a few options.
