Blood Red Skies
Achtung! Spitfires!
So here is a couple of pictures of the beginning of the painting for the Spitfires. Primed everything light gray as most camo schemes for airplanes involve some kind of white, really light grey or really light blue. No zenith or anything too fancy, a simple rattle can primer. I stole an idea from John and inserted toothpicks in the hole where the flight stand normally goes. This way I can handle each little plane without touching the paint.
The planes themselves are of ok quality. The detail on them is not bad but it could be better. I guess it’s all a question of price vs. quality. Once all painted the detail is still there which is what you want. However, this also means that some details are too gross. For example the tailplanes on both the Spitfire and BF-109 are way too thick. Then again, I guess you couldn’t produce something thinner and have it keep its shape. This happens with the wings with pretty much all o them bending heavily. If anyone has any tips for that let me know.
