LSP_K2 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here's one scheme that is OK, but I intend to keep looking. (Scanned from this Histoire & Collections book.) Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Starting to play with this kit some now and discovered this last night, a complete engine! I seldom run across 1:48 kits with a complete engine, so was somewhat surprised to realize this is one such kit. Pretty cool.

LSP_K2 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Quite a cool surprise here. While I was expecting a small package from Shawn, this also showed up, another plane to be sacrificed to the ceiling; too cool. Thanks a bunch, Shawn, you're a good man.

LSP_K2 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 My roommate decided he'd probably never get around to this one, so gave it to me for this never ending project. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Keeping in mind that for this project, less is more, I've spritzed the 'pit with what I think is an OK green color. Now I'll seal up the fuselage and prepare it for painting. Greg W, mustang1989, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 It’s an utterly gorgeous day here today, so I took full advantage, sitting on the deck, prepping the fuselage of the Spitfire for painting. Gazzas, mustang1989, MikeC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 The probable scheme for the Spitfire. I really wanted to do dark green and gray topsides, but apparently only later Spitfires were so painted. Gazzas, mustang1989 and Greg W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 Wing segments were a really bad fit, but I finally wrestled them into an OK position (not yet glued to fuselage here). Greg W, Gazzas, mustang1989 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I really prefer the green and earth to the green and gray. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Wing fit is pretty lousy, so some surfacer has been smeared on to fill the voids. Greg W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 "... if you pick the right kit (and keep the right attitude!), they can be a whole bunch o' fun." That statement describes my modeling attitude right 'n proper. If what I am doing is not a whole lot of fun why do it? Stephen LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Now this is just outstanding. I had been under the impression that I'd lost all four of these kits several years back, and just discovered them tonight. All four of these are in very little need of anything added, save for propellers and dull coat, so I should be able to get all four done in no time at all. I'm working my backside off, cleaning and organizing the entire basement here (long overdue), and am finding all manner of cool stuff. mustang1989, LSP_Ron, Greg W and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
