Thank you for watching and commenting. I mainly used Vallejo Aluminium for the fuselage and wings and painted individual panels with Dark Aluminium and White Aluminium to create some variation.

Thank you for your question? It depends... I usually use Tamiya Extra Thin. If I need it to hold quickly and there is only a small contact surface, I use superglue (e.g. wheels, external loads). But I use everything very carefully and sparingly so as not to destroy the paintwork. Regards ScalerDan

I just finished the Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk 1a. I added the control wires in the cockpit, and drilled out all the lightning holes in the frames, which they suggest you do for added detail. Nobody will ever see it, unless the use a flashlight and know exactly where to look and even then they won't see much. Still it was fun, i know it's there and have pictures of it before it went into the fuselage. If you want to take that kind of detail to the extreme build a Zoukei Mura 1/32 kit. Great build btw

Thank you for your comment and your thoughts. Kotare Spitfire sounds very promising! These extra details are an important part of the hobby for me.

Great looking model, nice job! What do you use to clean the Real Colors from the airbrush? I found out that normal airbrush cleaner does not work well since it's a lacquer and the AK thinner is too expensive to use a an airbrush cleaner.
@ScalerDan4 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching. I only use Mr Color Leveling Thinner and Rapid Thinner for thinning. I also use these two for cleaning. Not the cheapest solution but it works. Rapid Thinner is a bit cheaper so I prefer to use it for cleaning. At the end I usually leave a drop of Leveling Thinner in the airbrush so that nothing sticks. Basically anything that thins lacquer-based colors should work for cleaning but not the acrylic stuff. Regards ScalerDan

Great work. Just as an FYI, though. You really didn't need to remove the ridge on the exhaust pipes, because there's a weld seam on the real deal. Also, for the antenna, you should purchase some EZ LINE or equivalent. It's stretchy and thin, so it looks good in scale and doesn't droop. It stays taught. Just a suggestion.
@ScalerDan4 ай бұрын
Many thanks for the good advice. The seams on the exhaust pipes can be seen clearly in photos. To show them at the right scale, I could maybe just sand the ridge a little thinner. I only had something like EZ LINE for 1/72 scale. Worked well on my 1/72 Hellcat but was too thin for 1/48. I'll keep an eye out for that. Regards ScalerDan

Amazingly good work, but there are a couple of points to note. FIRST: Unless this is intended to be depicted a month or more after June 5/6th, 1944, the D-Day stripes would be almost pristine (if roughly applied in haste, generally on the 4th or 5th of June.) You have depicted them with Extensive chipping and weathering. By the end of June Many Allied planes had the uppersurface stripes overpainted with fresh OD which would also appear unweathered for a while, and certainly by the end of July this would have been done almost universally in both RAF and USAAF Fighter units. SECOND: When you painted the Propeller blades and chipped them, the chipping was along the whole of the Leading edge. The Hamilton Standard Propeller of the P-51B/C/D had a "Boot" at the inner portion, which was made from solid rubber molds and fitted over each blade. Any paint chips on the (rubber) leading edges would be almost invisible because of the Black rubber under the paint. But that is really all I can point out, like I said, Amazingly Good work!
@ScalerDan4 ай бұрын
Thank you for your interesting comment. When it comes to the invasion stripes, I chose a more artistic approach to make the model visually interesting. Your advice on the propeller is very helpful. If I understand correctly, the metal chipping on the outer half of the propeller blade is possible, only the inner half was rubberized? I have read about 'uncuffed' propeller blades on post-war Mustangs. That would probably be more true for Korean War Mustangs. Thanks again for your input. Regards ScalerDan
