Spitfire Mk.Ia
1st Build in 20+ years

Scale:
1:72
Status:
Completed
Started:
July 13, 2023
Completed:
July 27, 2023

I bought an airbrush for art and decided to start modeling to get some practical hands on experience. I am also mixing my own colors with acrylics for the first time. I also am using masking for the first time from a needle applicator and clay for the first time. I chose an inexpensive kit in duplicate anticipating problems but things have been going fine except when I lost my clear piece for a few hours..

I also got into a rush at the end and made some misteps and ruined my decals not thinking. I have a British set on order now so the project is delayed 4 days.
