Spitfire Mk.IXe 'Beer Barrels'

[Polux]

Thanks chaps!

I painted a matt varnish coat, this evening will start to mask all the plane. Will go for my Tartan version...so I have many work to do yet

 

[Polux]

Ok, guys!

The first stage/masking is ready.

My intention is build a weathered plane. So I do a chipping effect on every square, one by one....

Love it Polux, going to be a very colourful beast when it's done. After all this time glad to see the tartan Spitfire making its debut

 

[papa 695]

I agree with Joe. Polux nice to see the tartan Spitfire, great work so far looking forward to more.

 

[Polux]

Thank you very much for the comments guys!!

Cheers

 

[Polux]

All the squares are finished.

I'm feel strange now.... I'm so pleased with the work I have done, but think the Spitfire is not guilty of my 'eccentricities' .....

Thanks

Polux

Amazing paint job Polux! I dread to think how many hours of masking was involved in that

[papa 695]

Well Polux it is certainly different but in a strange way looks so good, job well done on the tartan

Hi Polux,

I think this looks great, just how long did it take you to do all the masking...

Andy...

 

[Polux]

My excuses to the most classical modellers....

If all you are losing the patience and asking yourself: “what is doing this guy, with the poor Spitfire...?”

I have no answer to that.... and I don’t exactly if all that will go anywhere too.....

But can say, I really enjoy playing and trying new things on it

Love to learn, sorry!!

Regards

A tartan spitfire ? I'll give this mate it's origins and I'm beginning to think you are slightly unhinged Mr Polux lol

I am Intreaged

 

[flyjoe180]

You shouldn't have to apologise for doing something out of the ordinary with your models Polux. At times I've considered doing something wacky with a kit, like painting it some weird colour, but never had the inclination to pursue it. Some replicate, others create.

The tartan has come out nicely and I like the weathering on the fuselage and tail, nice work. Looking forward to the final product!

 

[mobear]

you are a madman polux lol,loving the techniques you are playing with

[Polux]

Your sensation is unanimous.... I'm a mad man...!

I like it!

Thanks chaps!

Polux,

You did something great!

... don't know if you are Scottish, but I may follow you in a while with some sicilian traditional paint scheme ... Let's see ...
