Kotare Spitfire Mk 1a mid

KyMustang
Very impressive paint job. What's your technique? Black base coat and mottling the camouflage?

John Colasante
it's not black basing, I used a darker shade of the faded coat. But the same idea.
This is far from done, and I need to restore the hard-edge of the camo pattern also.
Thank you for your comment!

Big spitfire. I'm in.

Thanks John. My copy of this kit arrived today—quite excited to get started. I love the finish you achieved on your Eduard 1/48 Mk. I. Do you have a writeup anywhere on what techniques and processes you used?

John Colasante
Hi KyMustang. No I don't have an article on it. But there are some in-progress posts on my Facebook. facebook.com/mattersofscale/

If you have any questions feel free to ask anything!
