The Spit of All Spits

[bracesport]

@BATTLEAXE - what is the big red thing in the corner with the chunky tires (not quite as big as the one in @Wildthing 's hanger)?

Nice Build, look forward to seeing the final scheme

Its been awhile since i have been in this thread. The Spit got some attention today. Slapped on a coat of polyurethane and the first couple coats of paint... View attachment 162801
This is the nose paint and the invasion stripes going down. This might be a good from far kinda deal, but it will still look decent.

Primer grey as the base coat, what goes over top will be the kicker...

The belly is staying white, the invasion stripes on the tail go all the way around. Might do some stripes on the underside of the wings as well. Stay tuned

I have this feeling it will be super looking.

Snowblower I am thinking.

Oh the anticipation, I can't wait to see it finished!!!

Here is a sneak peak at what's goin on with the Spit...

The under side gets the invasion stripes treatment. The stripes go 3 white 2 black, but the two outer white against the withit of the underside of the wing won't really make it look like invasion stripes but will work well for orientation.

Here is the top side, went with the Seafire theme. It is supposed to be dark blue over light blue but i liked the grey idea better. I do have the tape to pull off and the roundels to go on so it should look like a warbird in the air

Here she is painted up

It will look really good in the air. I could sit here and sweat the minor stuff but i think the only way i could be happier is if it flies

@BATTLEAXE - that is way cool - I think you are certainly in the master class of classes!

This has no business looking as good as it does. I might as well pack up and go home with my boring FT Spitfire build. Did you stencil your camo lines or just spray them in? That's what I'm most afraid of on my first camo attempt. I'm almost considering a solid olive drab just so I don't have to do it 🙂

I had a 3 view drawing of the camo that i eye balled onto the plane just sprayed it on.

For me the most impressive - and there arelots of impreesive things here - is how you perfected the seams between hull segments. Bravo!
