Airfix Club Kit - Under The Red Star - Spitfire

The Airfix Club Kit this year , well consists of three kits actually, all with excellent decals to reproduce aircraft flown by the Red airforce of communist Russia against the Nazis. The three kits you get are a Spitfire, Hurricane and Warhawk, all 1/72. The decals are to say the least, superb. The Spit , though, is just the older version not the newer re-tooled kit with engraved panel lines and cockpit, however you can still make a decent kit from it. I messed up with the cockpit glazing, trying unsuccessfully, to mask it with basic B&Q masking tape. I have since bought some Tamiya tape, which is supposed to be much better. Overall, I'm quite pleased with how its turned out and thinking about it, this was my first ever Spitfire built. Weathering was kept to a minimum, with a little bit of silvering on the wing where the constant shuffle of feet in and out of the a/c has worn away the surface paint. Smoke dust from the guns has also been added using Mig powders.
