Phil's 1/48 Eduard Mk IXc Spitfire

[PhilJ]

Hi guys
Been some time since a build and really can't wait to go through the stash again.
For this build I'm using a Eduard Velveta Ltd Edition with Brassin wheels/exhausts to build a NMF Spitfire from a previous kit instructions and I'm attempting PE landing flaps for the first time. Now apparently when stationary flaps had to be in the closed position but I'm gonna allow myself some artistic licence on this one, pictures so far...

Phil,
Coming on nicely. The office looks very tidy.

Hi Phil
Looks to be well on the way. As Scottie says the cockpit looks very nice.

Nice work so far Phil.

Right, very quick update. I've naused it up already, must be rusty after a long break from the hobby.
Basically on the Eduard instructions rather confusingly they use the same colour for instructions to remove as shave down (see image below) be careful you don't make the same mistake. Good news is I've been on to Eduard and they was quick to reply that it is confusing so they're kindly sending out a replacement Sprue.
In the down time I'm going to post a new thread of Tamiyas 1/48 beaufighter, just to keep the wheels turning.

Looking good despite the issue. Office looks splendid in particular Phil.

Very nice cockpit, Phil.
I'll follow this build with interest.
I've in my stash the 1/72 Eduard Spit and my intent is to build, sooner or later, the UF-Q.
