Eduard Spitfire XVI Dual Combo (1/48)

"malcolm" undersurfaces masked...

[draken35]

After the masking of "Malcolm", I envisaged to use the camo paint masks on the "Bubble".

I remarked something that is annoying: the ziplock bag mentions it's made for Eduard kit, butr the instruction sheet speak about the Airfix kit!

I have begun by the wings and had some adaptation problems that decided me to drop the process after the wings and to mask the fuselage with my personal method (Tamiya masking tape).

Don't know if I have received a "faulty" sheet or if it's really for use for Airfix AND Eduard; but personnaly I'm a little bit disappointed.
The idea is often very good...

Thank you!

I'm getting anxious to build another Spitfire.....

These look excellent!

[draken35]

Thank you Scott.

Kits are nice, and the camo paint masks were useful for the wings - Not really for the fuselage I'm afraid...

[Second Air Force]

I can imagine that would be so, it is difficult to mask these compound curves and angles even with small segments of masking material. The same can be said with the paper masks I found on the internet, I'm afraid.

[draken35]

Exactly Scott. And if such masks can be very helpful, I must say I prefer my method with little sheets of masking tape...

See my work today on "Malcolm": first, masking; then Dark Green airbrushed and finally the masks removed.
