Hi Dave,
Yes,i did mean 1/48th,sorry i should`ve said!
Thanks very much for that,i`ll check it out.... i`m not going to push the boat out TOO much,but some cockpit enhancement is definitely in order ,
Cheers,
Andy

Eduard also do a pre coloured PE set of seat belts and IP for a nine Andy…

It’s what I’m using on my twelve…..bit cheaper than the 3D printed IP.

I’m going to change mine to a 1/72 Academy one I just like them better. Ordered it today I’ll post it when it gets here.

Whilst I was painting my USS Tuscaloosa, I was thinking on what I was going to build next - I'd forgotten about the Spitfire GB ( memory isn't what it used to be! ) - so kickoff on Wednesday - just about ideal timing, as my floaty thing will be nearing completion

Sure would like to see you build a “Wingy” again some day. That Soviet plane you did one time was nice.

[peterairfix]

Can the seafire be added to this group?

Let look at my rules and I will get back to you

 

[peterairfix]

Can the seafire be added to this group?

I think for the moment I will say not because I Can't find my original suggestion until I can find out I will have to say no for the time being

 

[Ian M]

Can the seafire be added to this group?

Yes it can.
