Lovely Spit, Rafi! Up to your standards as usual.
Thank you, Greg.
Excellent result, Rafi @blackmopane
Paintwork is beautiful.
Thank you, John!
Beautiful results, Rafi. I like the ICM kits as the best of their generation, before the Eduard kits. You've made the details really shine on this. Did you need to pay special attention to any of the construction?
Thank you, Christopher.
ICMs is accurate in its dimensions, but the build is challenging. Many parts require cleaning. Wing parts have indentations to fill. Some parts are crude, notably the cockpit. Engine cowls require modifications to have them flush with the fuselage. Nonetheless, recessed panels are outlined proportionally to receive weathering.
Excellent Spitfire, Rafi!
Superb painting and weathering!
Thank you, Spiros!
Nice Spitfire, Rafi. I bought one of those and it was loaded with short shots. The airframe became a paint mule and many of the detail parts ended up on other models.
Thank you, John.
I had a similar experience. It seems though, that ICM's quality control for the kit improved over the years.
