Description
Inspired by a couple games War Thunder and BFV this is a 100% custom build designed to look like a crashed section of a Spitfire wing.
My (Rod) Grandmother was also part of the Woman's Auxiliary Air Force (Later becoming the WRAF) and as a kid she told stories of Spitfires during WW2
When researching how to make a spitfire a computer a came across this black and white photo and it was the primary inspiration of the ripped open wing section. (The entire build is located in the wing)
While we done mods that use expensive hardware and crazy cool materials its always fun to build something cool and keep it on a very low budget. The whole case and base mod parts cost about 200.00 and can be purchased at any building supply store
These supplies include: 1/2 Plywood (for base) 3/4 MDF (for wing ribs) 1" ceder trim to create the terrain 3 cans of Loctite Titefoam 1 sheet of lath expanded metal 1 3/8" steel threaded rod to hold the wing 1 roll of 20" aluminum flashing 1 box of small brad nails (to create a riveted look on the metal)
Paint: 2 cans of self etching primer 2 cans of lime green (designed to give a zinc chromate primer look) 3 cans of camouflage primer 1 can of red 1 can of blue 3 cans of textured rock paint of different colors
I'll be uploading a video how I did it type worklog later to our youtube.com/c/bsmods channel later.
Added shot of the build before I put the skin on to show the hardware.
