Model Kits

This isn't a proper update yet, but I just resprayed the bottom half of the plane and the other parts with Super Clear III (I think I forgot to mention that I bought some ) and it is quite shiny but also feels great when dry. I tested on the non-transparent access hatch you can see under the bottom wing by really caking it on and all I can say is wow.



Plane is still drying, but once that is done I can spray the top half of the plane and add decals after dry. Once decals are on, I will start the 'chipping' process by putting small amounts of silver paint over areas that would theoretically have paint chip off over time either from handling by ground crew or the wind. I doubt the panels over the gun bays would be as rough as other Spitfires though - it doesn't have any guns! It only 'shoots' photographs which I think makes this a lot more beautiful than the better-known marks.

EDIT:



I really can't stress enough how good this stuff feels and looks. It's not super glossy like a car as I had expected while it was drying but it does have a bit of sheen which gives reflected light a soft glow. I wish cameras were able to accurately capture what the human eye can perceive because it looks a lot better on my desk than on screen :c
