Martyn Fox AutorThanks guys. The cockpits OOB apart from the Quickboost resin seat which is superb. I feel you can sometimes spend a fortune on aftermarket parts that cannot then be visible once the kit is built.

Hanno KleineckeTrue, one can get carried away quiet easily with these goodies.....

Christian BruerBut you know it is there Martyn🙂 Excellent start - looking forward to your progress mate.

Martyn Fox AutorThanks for the kind comments guys. Made some more progress today. The kit goes together very quickly once the cockpit tub is complete. Will update pics in due course 🙂

Alan RushHi Martyn. Great work on the cockpit and very nice for OOB, except for the seat. 👍 🙂

Kerry COXI can only echo all of the above comments Martyn, you have a 'deft' touch mate. 🙂 (Deft: definition, dexterous; nimble; skillful; clever: deft hands; a deft mechanic.)

Kerry COXIt is usually the way it happens.
Once the "Office" is furnished, the rest is just pure joy. 🙂

Martyn Fox AutorThanks guys for the kind words. Not much progress on this project lately ( Been on hols for a week) but should be getting back to the workbench now 🙂

Martyn Fox AutorSome progress. Decals added using Xtradecal and kit decals for stencils. Final coat of future ready for weathering stages.

Martyn Fox AutorWeathering using various filters/washs finished,along with subtle use of pigments. All sealed with a final coat of matt varnish and job done. It's been a pleasure to build,continuing the superb standard of resent Airfix kits.

Hanno KleineckeBrilliant looking Spit, well presented with this little scene ! Very good paintjob and nice and subtle weathering!

Martyn Fox AutorThanks guys. I built the Airfix earlier Spitfire Mk1 a few years ago when I got back into modelling. Since then I've read a lot of books and magazines to try and improve my skills,so I'll try and put up a comparison picture.

Martyn Fox AutorThanks for the very kind comments guys. Just added a picture of the older mould Airfix Spitfire I built about 5 years ago along side the brand new mould.

Martyn Fox AutorYour right Choppa. It's interesting to judge a resent model against an older effort just to see how your modelling skills improve or not as the case may be 🙂 It also shows the improvement in available new materials and modelling techniques that you see in books and magazines.

Clifford KeeslerVast difference. I agree with Choppa, I learned stuff on the web that I had never heard of before or tried before. I can see a huge difference in stuff I built just a year ago, to what I am doing now, especially with the PE and resin goodies. A year ago I did not know such things existed, and I have been modeling since I was 8yrs old. So a great job!.

Ulf PetersenVery nice Spit, Martyn.👍
Only the base floor looks . . . well, like carpet. 😉

Martyn Fox AutorThanks for the comments guys 🙂 I have to agree Ulf,regarding the carpet base. It's just a standard railway modellers grass mat that's I've dry brushed some highlights on. I've used the base as a kind of universal base to display some of my other models,so I might build a new custom one for this model.

Kerry COXHave you got any sheep in that scale Martyn ?, no, I am not being 'funny', I really mean it, as that would make the 'carpet' look like well manicured grass, as only sheep can do. 🙂 !

Choppa Nutta..... with a few crumbs of "chocolate" clumped together here and there ......... 😄

Kerry COXSheep shit doesn't "Clump" it scatters, like coffee beans, but not as tasty, known locally here as "Dillberries". LOL 🙂 that's why you never go Dillberry picking here, as you got to pick them off the sheep's ass. NASTY 🙂

Ben STONEKerry, I've always tried to refrain from posting Australianisms on here wholly due to the "lost in translation" possibility. However, you've nailed this one, well done.
