BloorwestSiR Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Great job Carl. Could I get some glamour shots for the gallery when you have a chance? Thanks Brad! I've managed to take a couple and will post them shortly. Carl, this is looking just s u p e r b ! One of the best Matchbox Spitfire F Mk.24 I have ever seen, that's for sure. When I saw what you have done with the canopy I understood, that I just can't leave mine as it is, I mean as poorly fitted as it actually is. Excellent job! However, I will rather adjust the canopy frame at its end, because this part of the Matchbox canopy is much too flat already. I'd love to see the gallery Best regards Hubert Thanks Hubert! The canopy on the Matchbox kit is way oversized, much like the fuselage itself. I tried a Tamiya XVI canopy on it and it didn't fit very well at all. The contours are very differernt. I"ll have to check but I may have an extra one for a Seafire 47 that might be a better compromise. Kendzior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Outstanding build, Carl! One of the best I've seen from this kit (along with Hubert's). FWIW, I used the GMF sliding canopy on my build, and it was a tad too small (for the kit, I mean). Kev Kendzior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
