1/72 PM Model Supermarine Spitfire VB "Dutch Trop"View: Slideshow Mosaic List 1January 27, 2023So this is what she started out as before the restoration. God aweful I'd call it! 2January 27, 2023I didn't even finish the stencils I was so unhappy with it I just left it. 3February 2, 2023And so it begins! 4February 2, 2023All Decals scraped off and the whole thing filled! 5February 4, 2023During the filling and sanding process all gear and the exhausts came off. Personally I think even in these early stages she looks 1000% better already! 6March 6, 2023All primed, I definitely need to start airbrushing again. 7March 3, 2023And she's Silver. And her wings fell off, oops. 8March 9, 2023At the last minute I decided the intakes under the wings weren't good enough. 9March 9, 2023So I cut them off and replaced them with 2 identical spare Airfix intakes. 10March 5, 2023Quite pleased with the results. 11March 9, 2023Decals have been found. 12March 9, 2023And she's done!!! 13March 9, 2023She's looking a billion percent better! 14March 9, 2023I'm so glad I decided to restore her! Really makes me wanna repaint others though haha! Comments 15 27 January 2023, 23:05Villiers de VosVery nice work.29 January 2023, 18:42Ben M🥸3 March 2023, 23:59Erik LeijdensQuite a restauration!
