Did you spot what I did wrong? Building a Spitfire Mk.XII | Airfix 1/48 | Full Build 

Nice paint work. I think you highlighted very well the importance of not rushing that part as it can either make the model or spoil it completely. If I may point out to you one small mistake easily fixable, you have mistaken the ailerons for the flaps. One should be up and the other one down . Thank you for showing us what a worthwhile hobby this is. All the best.

Apart from the ailerons, that is a really good build and impressive paint job. It looks the business. So congratulations on a fine model. I have a couple of comments that are not meant to be criticisms, merely observations that may provide some background information: 1. A comment you made at approx 17:40 mark about making the model look dirtier as the Spitfire XII flew "near the ground" made me smile. Although the Mk XII was introduced to combat low flying FW190s, the fact that it was a low level Spitfire does not mean it got dirtier than it's higher flying comrades! They all took off and landed at the same airfields. 2. Although I appreciate that building the model is 'the thing', sometimes for authenticity it is worth checking on the actual aircraft being modelled, particularly if they have unusual squadron markings such as '7B'. In this case, 7B were the markings of 595 squadron, an anti-aircraft co-operation squadron with duties exclusively over central and northern Wales. It operated a variety of aircraft in this role, including Spitfire XIIs. As an Army-anti-aircraft Co-Operation squadron it was not an operational front line fighter squadron and saw no combat. These Spitfires would rarely have had their ammunition panels removed, nor suffered the harsh treatment of front line squadrons, which would have significantly reduced wear and tear (chipping etc). The aircraft would have been relatively clean looking.

Brilliant build this, love to see a Spitfire model come to life.

That was a absolutely outstanding build, and the paint finish and weathering was perfect, I have alwsys liked the British grey/ green camo scheme, thanks for sharing this build, best regards from Australia 👌👍👌👍👌👍

Cool model and tutorial.

Nice job 👍

Another beautiful build! Well done!

Well done❤

Very nice build for a Spitfire model rarely seen. The result is amazing. You just have to correct the aileron positions, ok it has already been said. They cant be both down or up but should be facing in opposite balance standing. According to the laws of aerodynamics, to allow the wing to bank in a turn, the aileron is raised on the inside side of the lean. Other than this point, it s a nice build video and a wonderful model. 👍🏻👍🏻 Regards from 🇨🇵

both ailerons for bank angle are down. should be one up and one down

well, for authenticity, you lose the competition! You can’t have 2 ailerons pointing down there not flaps. if I was judging, I just walk right past your model.

Hi Tom I've seen so many Spitfires and have built a few. Your attention to detail is refreshing. It make me want to build another one! Thanks for sharing and posting. See you in the next one. Mikey V. PS do you have the Airfix F-4F Wildcat 1/72? The landing gear stumped me.
