Altogether the build & painting took 15 hours, I explain the paints used and step by step what I did.
The Spitfire mk5c fought the home defense role during WW2, above the deserts of North Africa and the jungles of the far east. Powered by Rolls Royce Merlin 45 engine this aircraft had the original Mk 1/2 airframe with a number of design improvements already developed for the proposed future mk3.

When I was a kid, 1:72 "cockpits" were a couple of bars across the interior on which the pilot figure was balanced. He was lucky if he had a seat. Much has changed!

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

I was quite surprised how detailed this cockpit was to be honest for 1/72 👍

[@jaws848]

Camo patern looks fantasticc...excelllent overall result...well done,Sir.👍👍👍​@@MrWhiteScaleModels

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

​@jaws848 thank you 👍 I appreciate it 🙂

[@rc-fannl7364]

Lol, yeah. Either bars or zigzag shape as "seat" at best.

[@michaelvalenzuela2528]

the Masking is what drives me Nuts(among other things). Very nice work👍

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Yeah I've never been a fan of masking. That's the part I'm up to now with the next build 🙄
Thank you 👍

[@PennysPitstop]

One of my hobbies is watching model builds and searching for any cock ups made. I'm sorry to say you disappointed me with your perfect airbrushing, your dancing brush technique and not over the top weathering.
This looks a great kit. Seems a lot of decals for a 72 scale kit, nice details. Airfix have really come a long way since I was a kid.
Well done.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 🙂 yes quite a few decals, some I found stuck to my hand after searching for ages. Nice little kit I'd recommend it to anyone and for 11 quid bargain.

[@dylanmurray1462]

Great video mate. Looking forward to seeing more of this. Cheers

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

[@sarahbonny1]

This is the best 1 uv done

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Cheers 🙂

[@hannahdriver560]

This is fantastic

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 😊

[@rc-fannl7364]

Turned out nicely. Just wondering if the toe out on the landing gear is accurate

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 👍 After recording and uploading the video, I noticed I had knocked the landing gear out of place a bit probably through handling the model. The landing gear should be slightly more inwards.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

When I say quick build at the start of the video, I'm referring to myself having limited time and not the Spitfire being a quick build kit.

[@johnnoble01]

Enjoyed the vid but i think you have the undercarriage legs in the wrong way round. Probably because of the square holes?

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Cheers 👍
After I finished recording I noticed the far part of each leg had been knocked out of place probably when I've been handling the model. Will admit laziness on my part using cement on painted parts rather than looking for my superglue 🙄 Appreciate the comment, thanks 👍

[@raymondmoumou]

C' est bien fait, mais quand appliquez-vous le vernis mat ?

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thank you 👍 I applied the matt varnish at the end of the build

[@alanelesstravelled8218]

The decals for walkway demarcation lines on the upper surfaces of the wings should be applied first, they don't go over the roundels.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Yes 👍 got a bit carried away and applied the roundels first

[@user-ho3dz1ft1r]

I like ww2 plane models

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Some nice kits out there 👍

[@blacknass1943]

grait model the onley thing :you need a new airbrush pistol ^^ yours splashing quit a bit. : D or new nosel and nadle

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Thanks 👍
Yeah while painting this model my airbrush was definitely struggling a bit, I'm due a new one before the next build ✈️

[@badman5509]

Nice result. Only the chassis looks a little strange. As if the wheels are coming adrift.

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Cheers 👍
Yes after filming I noticed I'd knocked the 2 far ends of the legs out the holes, I think through handling the model. I corrected them afterwards but a little too late 🙄

[@robertgalletto8186]

Missed painting the main canopy

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Yeah there's a few things I wish I hadn't of rushed through 👍

[@Daniel-yq8pu]

La cinétique du train d'atterrissage n'est pas bonne !

[@MrWhiteScaleModels]

Yes, through handling I must of knocked the landing gear out of the hole. I realised this after uploading the video, I need to be more careful in future
