- airfix supermarine spitfire mk.1a 1/72 scale model full build and paint
the iconic spitfire from ww2 gets a different camo scheme and gets painted on the underside with the fantastic looking black and white wings
the model is built straight from the box and painted with various paints from valleyo, tamiya and mr color

Loveley little build, thanks for sharing.
This came out great, lovely build and vid. The white pin wash ended up looking great, was a bit skeptical about that at first!
When I did this I assembled the cockpit and before the Tamiya cement went off completely I test fitted it in the fuselage, taping the two sides together. The extra thin dries quick but is not completely solid for 20 mins or so (ish). There’s a little diagram on step 3? In the instructions that shows the alignment.
Did not add control stick at that point and just brush painted it all up, as well as the pilot. It all fit for me without surgery, that might be a first 😂
It’s a nice kit, this. I really like how yours came out. Thanks!
cheers pal
i tend to leave the control stick out till the end as i nearly always break them off when i fill the cockpit with foam ect
Excellent thumbs 👍 up
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice build! Looks like a fun little kit. Thanks for sharing!
Cracking job that.. I have done 3 of these now and like you say, lovely kits. Great watch, thanks for sharing…Chris
Glad you enjoyed it
I really enjoyed that video. Good work.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing. This is 1 colour scheme I'd love to have a go at mainly coz its 1 I've never seen.
Another great build "Yorkie"
Glad you enjoyed it
You should try and get kit A02010 which is the Mk1/Mk2A set. The basic kit is the same but has extra parts. The Mk1 has a different canopy and the two blade rotol prop. It also has an unusual underside in that it is half black and half white with the control surfaces aluminium on the underside. If you get an extra Mk1A kit you can also use the extra parts to make a Mk2A as well.
There is also a Mk1A version with a sky underside with a single black wing. Definitely nice having unusual schemes.
cant seem to find that kit from airfix from anywhere available in the uk at the moment
will keep a look out for it though
thanks for letting me know
Kingkit has it. Search 02010 to find it.
Nice build, and a really interesting and informative tutorial for beginners to follow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another nice build, again I have one of these and like yourself, I've never done one in that scheme, next quick build maybe, cheers.
its usual airfix build so is quick and easy
the camo scheme does take a bit of time masking but is worth it
I need one of these , thanks for the video, cheers mate.
No problem 👍
Great vid just remember we all like a quick one now and then ✈️
we sure do
Nicely done. I like the black/white camo scheme
i love kits with weird or uncommon camos
thanks for replying
Nice kit build Airfix also do a Hurricane with the B&W underside.
didnt know that
will have to see if i can find one
@@yorkshiremanmodels Hobbycraft has the 2 blade prop Hurricane version.

New to your channel and to building kits you mention a brush pen for applying the cockpit instrument decal. Can you let me know where you can buy these please. Great video's will be back for more.
I suspect the pilot figure is 1/72, but the cockpit interior is slightly undersized, as are most interior details in model kits. Hence, the pilot is a bit too big to fit in properly.
your probably right as with most kits its what they can fit rather than whats 100% accurate
With the under wing sceam there was one in the RAF museuim and instead of the aliminuim it was a grey colour and I have been looking though images for the camo and I haven't seen any aliminuim
cheers for that
i do sometimes wonder where manufacturers get the camo schemes from
@@yorkshiremanmodels there was a youtube vidio from the FAF museuim going though the evolotion of the spit fire and they bring up the black and white and you can see the frey part's
if you collected plastics from pilots that you cut their legs from airfix spitfire kits, probably you could mold a new sprue from it 😅
haha your probably right with that
Great build. But I’m wondering what type of 3D printer you have that you used to print the glue holders??
its a ender 3 model
mine is a older model but works great
How make the details with red on the Guns? I need help
the red was decals that came with the kit
a right pain to put on but once dry where fine
@@yorkshiremanmodels Thank you very much
