Title: Eduard Spitfire
Post by: No.1 on June 02, 2013, 08:31:28 AM
No matter I have few other builds to complete, I need to start this one and to complete it step by step in following few weeks. First image show all items I need to assemble and next is my comparing of Tamiya paints with the official RAF color chart ;) Color test will be made later and I will show you results and interior grey green must me mixed.

First step is to make mix of Grey Green color as well I have no this paint in my acrylic range of colors (I have Humbrol but it is poor adhere to surface and longer drying then Japanese paints). As you see on first test image, mixed paint look almost identical to the official chip. Next image show parts of the Spitfire cockpit set before painting... the rest no need special explanation, painted parts as well image of the used paints for interior color mix with mix in front of it.

Thank you :)) And now the problem- Eduard resin cockpit is a bit oversize and there is need to scratch surface inside bottom wing and a bit of the resin cockpit from bottom. There is tinny walls so much care need to be taken during scratch work  :-danger

Hmmm......I had something of the same issue with the Tempest V. The plastic parts were thicker on that one though so my grinding was less stressful!

I was thinking after seeing your cockpit completed that it would be a nice "stand-alone" display piece even if there weren't an airplane around it!

My opinion is that even basic plastic parts which come with kit are excellent so this kit as weekend edition will be nice item ;)
