It's a very simple model with 25 or so parts and it fits together pretty well, although I think the tooling was wearing out a bit when this one was pressed. It gets the shape perfectly. The interior detail is lacking however.

Undersides sprayed with light grey green (confusingly called Sky Type S by the RAF), and Dark Earth on the upper sides. I'm using Vallejo Air paints.

To get the wiggly camouflage, I mask the wings with silly putty and then spray the Dark Green. The silly putty has low tack, so it peels off easily.

And the moment of truth - peeling off the silly putty! Good result. Now for some decals.
#Airfix #Spitfire Mk I 1/72.

It's going to be finished as this aircraft, from 19 Squadron RAF. This is the aircraft of Squadron Leader Brian Lane, the Commanding Officer during the Battle of Britain.

The decals are on. I had trouble with the big fuselage roundels, and they need a bit of tidying up!
There's still a bit of painting to do on the canopy frame, and then a few more bits to glue on.

First coat of matt varnish applied. It will need another, as there are still a few shiny bits!
