jenshb Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) My record for completing group builds is absolutely abysmal, not having finished a single one on time, so this may well follow that pattern. However, Edgar did help me with a couple of Spitfire builds - particularly the details of the 1:48 HF.VII made (and modified) from the Hasegawa Mk. IX. There was a build-article in Model Aircraft Monthly before they tried to go full size reference. Anyway, I owe him thanks, and what better way to thank him retrospectively than to join a group build in his honour. I have collected parts and accessories for this project, and thanks to a friend I will no longer have any excuses to put it off; a post-war Norwegian Spitfire LF.IXe. The e-wing parts are sprues from the Mk. XVI kit, and there's various Barracuda Studios parts in there too together with some of Radu Brinzan's products and HGW. So, let's see if I can finish this thing... Jens Edited January 27, 2016 by jenshb geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi Jens, welcome aboard. I shall enjoy following your progress. Very smooth finish on the smaller version BTW. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thanks chaps. Been plugging away at the cockpit with some assembly work and base painting, so nothing unique to show for just yet. Will share some pics when there's something worth showing. I am enjoyiing this kit immensely though. Jens geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi Jens, It's always enjoyable watching other WIP threads. I find it fascinating that there are nearly as many ways to approach a subject as there are modellers. I'll often pick up little tricks even if I've seen similar many times before. If you decide to add images along the way I know I'd get a kick out of seeing your progress. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hi Jens. Just a friendly nudge to see if you had made any progress on your XVIe? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi Guy, It's making very slow progress - mainly in the cockpit. Will try and post some pics this weekend. Thanks for the friendly nudge:) Jens mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
