Hello all.

Firstly, thanks to Kev for resetting my password. This getting old(er) isn't what it's cracked up to be! 😁

Secondly, a huge thanks to @Mozart for the custom serial and codes for this one. 

I supplied Max with a single dimension and he did the rest. 

Max, you're a star. 🙏 

The remainder of the stencils are the 1ManArmy set designed to replace the Airfix decals. 

They aren't entirely accurate and had to be modified on occasion to get closer to those on MK356. 

Built to honour the memory of Squadron Leader Mark Long who perished at the controls on 25th May, 2025. 

I recognize some of the membership from LSP so I apologize to you since you may have already seen this one. 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers,

Guy

 

Excellent work, Guy!

Indeed a superb Spitfire in all its detail and authenticity. If I may add a little to Guy’s post? He asked me about the “do not walk” markings over the wing bulges, even in 1/24 scale these were going to be a challenge for the Silhouette cutter, so I prepared a range based on Guy’s estimates and measurements of the length of the dashed markings:

 

 

I had to fiddle the length of the dashed lines for the optimum effect, the letters from memory are 1.5mm tall. The “B” inevitably was the least successful, but overall a good result:

Thanks Max. I am very pleased with the results of your masks. The masking material (Oramask?) that you use is excellent. Using clear film makes placement significantly easier than the Kabuki tape style of masking. The film also adheres well without being too sticky. I'm a big fan. 

 

Cheers,

Guy

excellent work!  the masking and painting look exceptional

 

Thanks @talbot . I appreciate your kind words.

Glad you enjoyed the model.

Cheers,

Guy
