BloorwestSiR Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Great save on the tail section! Looking forward to see the top side camo! Alain Thanks Alain! Here you go: I then added the white and black stripes to wing and fuselage. Thy're going to need a bit of touch up. Then time for the numbers. So it's getting closer.

I'm still partial to my PRU Pink Spitfire but this is turning out better than I had hoped. Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Excellent build so far! Very clean work. Dan Thanks Dan! It took quite a bit of going over the complete airframe to find the various flaws and fix them. I almost gave up there were so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 A bit more paintwork is done: I then masked off the walkway outlines on the wings. Once those are sprayed, onto the roundels.

R Palimaka Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Amazing job Carl! That kit is a bit of a nightmare, and to get it so far so fast is pretty impressive...especially considering you've got a stable of Spits on the go. Good save on the tail too. You're making me feel like a lazy bum with my one build! Richard Shaka HI and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Fantastic work, Carl! I've got so much respect for anyone who can turn this kit into a decent model, and you're certainly doing that!

ClumsyDude Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Looks really good Carl, impressive scheme and well executed. Jim BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Carl Geez, Carl that was a close call with the tail - glad you were able to back track and reinstall it as good as new. Super work on the paint and cammo - looking so good. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making me feel like a lazy bum with my one build! Richard Thanks Richard! The tail wasn't too bad to reattach as the cut was nice and square. I think the multiple kits on the go is sort of keeping me sane working on this one. Plus, we're going to be starting some major house renos in a month or so and in going to have to pack the bench away during that time. So I guess I'll average out to the usual completed build once every two months. R Palimaka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Fantastic work, Carl! I've got so much respect for anyone who can turn this kit into a decent model, and you're certainly doing that! Kev Thanks Kev! But I did have your build and my stalled FR47 build as a sort of template. Plus Hubert's current build has helped push into taking the kit that extra bit further.

BloorwestSiR Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 So I painted the wing walks and then started on the roundels. The post war roundals are quite a bit brighter in colour versus the WWII ones. I wasn't sure about them until all the masks came off.
