1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk. V
A fun kit with virtually no issues, built out of the box with masks and decals from Montex for this livery, Tamiya paints and hand-made masks for the camo scheme. Some light weathering with soft-pastels blended along the panel lines with a soft brush that left behind a dusty look, which I think is the main idea for a fighter in North Africa. All in all a keeper for my collection.
A beautiful result, George!
Excellent painting and weathering!
Very nice Spit George @georgedamian. I like this model with the clipped wings. Thanks for sharing.
Great result, George @georgedamian
Weathering looks indeed superb.

That's one pretty Spit!
Spiros, Yann, John, Gary, John Healy, Tom, Greg - thank you guys, glad you liked it.
Fantastic job on this build, George.
Your paint work does the Tamiya kit justice.
Love the look of the MkV - and yes - even the clipped wing version!
This is a great looking Spitfire and I love the scheme! Nice job.
Nice work on the clipped wing Spitfire! Fantastic scheme.
George, Bob, Robert - happy to hear you nice words.
Lovely job George; especially the pastel weathering.
Thanks, I really enjoy the soft pastels for weathering.
