Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb, Tamiya
Pre-shade
Painting done, next stop gloss-coat and decals
Decals are on. I find Tamiyas roundels too thick, so I used Eduards. They are thin and respond well to Micro Set/Sol
Tamiyas letters and stencils are good, only the roundels are thick.
Well, done. Came out OK I think. I decided not to use any wash since I was quite happy with the way the pre-shade shine through
In a couple of days I well do some light exhaust-burns, and I´ll have to redo the canopy.

Thanks guys!
The roundels are not kit decals. I really don't like the Tamiya roundels; first you have to put a white one as base, and then the coloured roundel on top. Since both of them are really thick and doesn't respond so well to decal solvent I normally use the roundels from Eagle Cals or Xtradecals instead. On this one I used roundels from Eduard, but the other decals are kit decals.

Very attractive build. I agree with your keeping off the wash. She is beautiful and bright with subtle tone variations.
