dennismcc Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Fantastic start Dennis and very interesting subject choice, The Barracuda upgrade sets are just superb and add an extra dimension to the build. Regards. Andy Thanks Andy, the Barracuda parts really make this build possible. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hello Dennis, Nice clean start to your Hobbyboss Spitfire.. Liking the Engine { always MY favorite part of an aircraft }.looks impressive. Also love your choice of model.. AWESOME ... keep us posted and Well thank you very much I'm glad you are enjoying the build, I know I am but it is slow, like me.

mozart Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm on a learning curve for all things Spitfire, so watching and learning from you Den. I've been using one of those lamps for a year or so now, they are such a treat to use aren't they? Max Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) More progress, nearly bang up to date now, I'm still a bit wary of gluing the seat belts to the seat to make they lie down a bit more, and I should have been a bit neater with the seat mount and armour plate, I should have used the Barracuda part but that will be a lesson learned for the V Trop kit that will follow. I should have drilled a hole in the Yahu instrument panel before assembling this section to allow me to fit the Barracuda gun sight, it's done now but it would have been easier to do before assembly. Below is one sidewall with a mix of Barracuda and kit parts, the Barracuda decals really add to the detail.

LSP_Kevin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Terrific work so far, Den! Your cockpit is really starting to come to life. I just bought myself a magnifying lamp too, but have yet to set it up. Hopefully it won't take me a year! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dennis Amazing work .. the front offcie is looking fantastic and thumbs up on the IP. I've always had the same problems with the shoulder harnesses until I switched to RB sets .. piece of cake after that. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had the same problems with the shoulder harnesses until I switched to RB sets .. piece of cake after that. Keep 'em coming Peter Thank you Peter, the fabric harnesses are the way to go, I've stocked up on some more sets for the future, currently I'm trying to close up the fuselage, but niggling little details are getting in the way, will post some progress soon. Dennis, Having seen your Armour builds which are excellent, I think your Spitfire will turn out Exquisitely. SUPERB work on the cockpit and the instrument panels is quite flawless .. Good job MY friend. Well thank you very much for that, I must admit I do have a stalled armour build sitting there calling to me, one day I will get around to it Yeah, I'm actually off to the optometrist this morning to book an eye test; my current glasses are no longer doing the job. Kev Fun this getting older isn't it ! Cheers Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Well I have been progressing at my usual glacial pace, but there has been some progress, I have been fitting the various components into the fuselage halves and I'm glad to say that they all fit fine, the engine firewall needed a small amount of sanding to get a snug fit but that was all that was required. All that I am waiting for is the gun sight, the Barracuda one needed some brackets to fit the clear part, so these have been bodged and painted, as soon as the paint is dry I will be able to fit it and close the fuselage.
