My Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk Vc is ready. Coming from the 2020 range release for which new molds are used what can be seen in most parts having a good fit (except for the canopy). Airbrushing went better by using other needle sizes, a lower air pressure and retarder.

Some dry fitting. For a quiet morning to think about, what spinner would you use for a Spitfire Mk Vc? 🤔

At a fair I got some old decals from model kits that were scrapped.

So let’s find out whether the sun ☀️ will do it’s Ultra Violet-job removing the yellowed parts of the decal sheet 😎

My airbrush needle got bent but the airbrush didn't splatter, nor got clogged and the paint did not bubble in the cup.

However on aiming the spray gun, masking tape got sprayed near the area I aimed the spray gun at. So I got some new replacement needles, various sizes 😎

Had a #WordPress issue. On updating a plugin the site and its dashboard went completely inaccessible 😳 So you have to access your website using SFTP to have that plugin disabled 😫. To say it mildly: Wordpress allowing a plugin to make even the dashboard inaccessible: very clumsy...

I was a KLM DC-10 passenger in 1978. On building the model kit many years later I had to buy the Karaya as the Revell isn’t available anymore.

At aviation museum #aviodrome (NL) I did some 'research' watching the Boeing 747. Not a DC-10 but its (weathered) colours are more or less similar.

Dry fit of the Airfix 1:72 Spitfire Mk.Vc interior: does the plane suite you sir or do we need another candidate ? 😀

1:72 pilot figures are hard to find.

Glad I could take over those chaps (offered by modellers at a fair from model kits that had been scrapped).

A new career awaits the recruits in my new air fleet ✈️ 😎

The Airfix 1:72 P40b is finished. Next on my stash, the Spitfire Mk.Vc 😎 with RAF after-market decals as I won’t use the out-of-the-box USAAF or SAAF-decals.

My Airfix 1:72 P40b Warhawk 😎 Turned it into a desert camo Tomahawk. Antenna wiring configuration looks somewhat weird but it seems the first P40 planes were equipped that way (did use Mrs sewing thread 🤫 and some super glue for that). See ya 👋

My minions are taking a break 😅 but the 1/72 P40b Warhawk / Tomahawk is close to completion.

The Vallejo Ultra Matt Varnish still looks shiny 😳 So shaking the bottle for 15 minutes before spraying and at last an airbrushed layer that isn’t glossy 🙌🏻

Working on this #airfix P40b 1:72 Warhawk. All decals used are left from 80s model kits that went into oblivion long time ago. Did use Hubrol DecalFix and Microscale Liquid Decal Film and the decals did well. Now onwards to the protective 2nd gloss varnish layer.

On BlueSky and still a software developer for the glory of the empire, Qapla’! 😎
