A Malta Story: Eduard Spitfire Mk. V

Welcome to the next instalment of the buddy build of the Eduard Spitfire V with Rick Lawler. In this episode I build the cockpit and add the beautiful Barracuda Studios Snapshot Upgrade. I also feature Rick's cockpit, it's very interesting to see how a dyed in the wool armour/diorama modeller tackles an aeroplane model.

Fantastic detail painting! The A-Stand Duraluminium looks really smooth. Nice to see a metallic paint that's not full of flakes. I'm trying to stick to water-based acrylics, so Vallejo Metal Colour and the new Atom metallics are my choices right now. Don't know if it's me Jamie but the volume of your commentary seemed quite low.

Something went wrong with the software, I had to try to fix the volumes in post production!

I’m suprised you’ve not had an eye test in 4 years considering you’re a pilot lol , great build btw love the detail work , it’s a rabbit hole but worth it when it’s done imo

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

We get checked but not in depth opticians, but they keep mucking up the contract here!

Hey Jamie - one word ‘stunning’ detail, sorry 2 words 😂

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Cheers Liam

[@arseny79]

Cheers, Jamie! I’d suggest you using Gundam Marker Pen by Mr. Hobby for painting cockpit bits’n’pieces - very quick and very sharp for precision detailing

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I've got a few similar things mate.

Is it me or is the sound very, very quiet? Just checked on other YT and fine there. Great work as usual though.

[@clra73]

Indeed, I barely hear it.

Something went wrong with the software, I had to try to fix the volumes in post production! Seems fine on my telly!

The two large silver cylinders on the port side behind the pilot are for the pneumatic system. They are charged to 300psi by the engine-driven air compressor and are for operating the flaps, radiator flaps, supercharger ram on applicable variants, wheel brakes and guns. The purpose of the small black cylinder opposite on the starboard side can be guessed by the letters O X Y G E N written on it ;-).

Thanks for the gouge mate

Pointy cotton buds, look useful. Where do you buy them from? That barracuda seat looks amazing.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I got them from Danube, my local supermarket

[@ScrubbersGhost]

@@thescalemodellingcafe ahh cheers, Saudis a bit far for cotton buds though.
