Always feels like a frustrating step, priming the plastic from one shade of grey to a very slightly different shade of grey (when it goes on wet, it's literally almost _indistinguishable_, i have to go by the "wetness" look to see where I've done - the darker shade only appears once it's dry); and yet it's a pivotal step.

I've tried skipping it before, and while you _can_ if you're using enamels, if you're using acrylics, it just doesn't work.

It's almost time to get the Spitfire rolling again. Almost.

Currently working on the Revell 1:32 "Aces High" Iron Maiden Spitfire kit. Which I'm hoping is not their usual 1:32 Spitfire MkII with the Eddie figurines thrown in (which is likely, because they're on their own sprue, in their own cellophane packet, cast in a different coloured plastic).

The kit (especially the interior) is horrifically inaccurate from any Mk that I can find reference photos for online. 😬

Not a bird I expected to see at Oxley Creek Common today!

Of course there is a Wikipedia page that describes it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Supermarine_Spitfires#Australia

#Wordweavers 24 Feb 'Tell us something about your MC that seems unimportant but really is crucial.'

When they were young NutJob and his friend HayWire were both avid fans of the (fictitious) comic book Spitfire.

That led to NutJob's passion for model aircraft.

And HayWire took his name from one of the charismatic pilots.

BTW There are no aircraft in 2450AD
