1/72 Airfix Spitfire 1a

by Greg Kerry

This early Spitire was not one of the 'new' Airfix company's greatest 
products: Matchbox-like panel lines and very thick canopy being two of the 
worst features. Given this kit as a Christmas gift I wondered what I could 
do with it to make a reasonable model - thus the little diorama.

Deep panel lines were flooded with paint which took care of them. The canopy 
I at first tried to cut apart but the plastic proved too thick and brittle 
resulting in the white glue-soaked tissue cover used on my model.

With the paint provided (this was a Starter kit) I finished the kit more or 
less otherwise out of the box. I even used the Airfix decals which looked 
horribly thick and with obvious carrier film - but to my surprise they 
bedded down very well between layers of varnish (and without decal 
solution).

The two figures come from Ceasar Miniatures WWII Brits set with the addition 
of gas mask bags (from Milliput) and rifle slings (from foil). Washed and 
dry brushed they came up looking quite nice.

The base is nothing more than plastic scrap covered in more glue and tissue 
paper with real dirt on top. The tree is garden weed trunk and branches with 
foam rubber clumps of 'leaves'. Other greenary is scrap lichen. The wooden 
fence has real wood posts with plastic card planks.

All the paint I use is acrylic, the washes and drybrushes from cheap 
watercolour (in tubes).

Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to 
include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article. 
It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the 
finished webpage won't take too long to open.
