Excellent work so far ! Why did You paint the pilot`s seat in dark red ?

Thank you all. Christian; the seat is painted in the colour Eduard suggests, Gunze H33 Russet. Normally I use Vallejo Burnt cadmium red with a pinch of white in it or Tamiya XF-64 lightened with a pinch of XF-15 but I was out of both when I was about to paint the seat.

Hi Mats! Thank You for this info. I was only wondering why the seat has a different color from the rest of the cockpit.

Nice start Mats. This is a lovely kit to build. You can never have enough Spits.

You're welcome Guido 🙂
Thanks Martyn. I agree, this is a great kit. It almost builds itself.

And yes, you can never have enough Spitfires and One-Oh-Nines 🙂 My Spit vs. 109 ratio is 3:4 at the moment....

Thanks Christian 🙂
The camouflage was masked using blu-tack, paper, and Tamiya masking tape in various sizes. Everything was tidied up by carefully airbrush freehand.

" tidied up by carefully airbrush freehand"
that is extremely neat and tidy freehand ! all the edges have such a consistent "radius" if you know what I mean 🙂
the slightly soft edges look just right !
