Cheers Lee. Probably only worth it in 1/48 and above, but it lifts the build for very little effort.
Cheers Jim.Good start and the cockpit looks nice. That Eduard instrument panel is smart.

Oops. Bit of a boo-boo there.....!!OK you lot! Hands up those that spotted the stupid mistake and didn’t say anything…….I mean, how on earth was I going to fit the fuselage half’s together with the second frame behind the seat on upside down Bet you were all just waiting for the bad language to start so you could have a good laugh at me LOL…..
I only tried a dry fit to see if I needed to shave anything down or open up the location cut outs a little to get a good fit. Couldn’t get the sides together and join them at all to start with, then the half florin dropped……
All sorted now though so I spent the morning removing the bits from the fuselage that are not needed if I want a landed spitfire with the canopy open…..five in all….last of the internals next, then wet grey green stuff…..
Thanks Colin…….no pressure then LOL…..I'm not really a fan of clipped wing Spitfires, but it's still a spitfire, and it's going to look great.
You will nail it I'm sure. You might even persuade me to like clipped wing Spitfires.Thanks Colin…….no pressure then LOL…..
Cheers Mick. I too think the Eduard IPs and sundry dials lift a build considerably, and seat belts are a must have. For not a lot of outlay and effort they sharpen up the pit nicely.Late arrival (as usual) off to a great start Tim. I'm a big fan of detailing up the cockpits and the Eduard stuff does lift it, especially on 1/48 and upwards.
