GUEST GALLERY: Spitfire MK.IXc 1/32 by JUAN VILLEGAS.

Juan Villegas is one of those crazy Spaniards whose works I love. His attention to detail, especially in the weathering is exquisite. Many 1/32 models we see are painted exactly with the same detail level as if they were 1/48 or even 1/72. Not Juan Villegas´ pieces. He harnesses this scale using a wide range of effects that add the enough complexity to look not only realistic but completely astonishing. Please don´t miss the close up images.
This Spitfire is one of those works that must be quietly watched with a cup of your favourite drink. You will learn some things for sure. I did it.
