I can not seem to put this thing down. coat of HU2 applied


Ben has had no movement on his model he has not been very well today. I have masked it up for him so he can give it a coat of HU106

The correct way to say it is "You can never have too many Spitfires"... :lol:

Nice progress on the Whirlwind and on the Meteor. That must be a later model Hobbyboss kit, where they actually give you something in the cockpit. I've done their Spitfire Vb and Graham did the Hellcat, and the cockpit tub is just that...!
