Hello mates!

We are including a Building group in our National Convention in Mexico, so I want to present my WIP of my Spitfire Mk.IXe that flew the British Ace Jonnie E. Johnson.
I have Eduard's Royal Class kit, I will build it out of the box ( I think it is enough that this kit has)

Well, I will post some photos as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Guillermo

A little bit delayed with this project, I am!
I just painted cockpit with Humbrol 78 and applied shadows with Humbrol 32 (Dark gray).
Seat color is Vallejo's Model Color (70818) plus Ronin (GP14 Wood) to simulate bakelite color, I used oil paint to apply some washes.

Now, I am building wings, meanwhile cockpit color is drying very well to apply washes with oil paint diluted with white spirits.

Thanks,
Guillermo

Neil,

Thanks, I will try to finish very soon, but I think I couldn't do it to D-Day date.

See you soon.
