Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk Ia

By Dave Johnson

I started on the Border Lancaster a while ago and then got distracted with the new Kotare Spitfire. The local hobby store asked me to build a Spitfire for its store display.

What can I say about the kit... Nothing bad really, it was a dream to build and I already have another one that I started.

The Spitfire was built out of the box and painted with Tamiya acrylics and lacquers as per the kit's callouts.

Weathering was done with Ammo products as the store stocks them and requested that I only used them.

The base was pretty simple to make. All I used was hard styrofoam for the base, balsa wood for the edging, and Ammo acrylic mud. Watered-down PVA was used to glue the static grass, placing it with a battery-powered applicator.

Hope you like...
