1/72 PM Model Supermarine Spitfire VB "Dutch Trop"
So this is what she started out as before the restoration.
God aweful I'd call it!

I didn't even finish the stencils I was so unhappy with it I just left it.
And so it begins!
All Decals scraped off and the whole thing filled!
During 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!

All primed, I definitely need to start airbrushing again.
And she's Silver.
And her wings fell off, oops.

At the last minute I decided the intakes under the wings weren't good enough.
So I cut them off and replaced them with 2 identical spare Airfix intakes.
Quite pleased with the results.
Decals have been found.
And she's done!!!
She's looking a billion percent better!
I'm so glad I decided to restore her!
Really makes me wanna repaint others though haha!
