mozart Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I love the sight and sound of Spitfires but strangely enough I have no motivation to build one.....till now! Your build Darren is spot on, in some of those camera angles you'd be challenged to say whether it was a model or the real thing. I totally agree also about "First Light", a marvellous account of Wellum's training and experiences in the wartime RAF. Congratulations on a super model.

mozart Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) "Thank you very much indeed Max! I hope you do build a Spitfire, everyone should build at least one!" That's my problem Darren.....everyone builds Spitfires, Bf109s and Fw190s!! I prefer to be different and concentrate mainly on training aircraft....but I am building a couple of Hurricanes shortly.

andromeda673 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thank you! Yes I used an Eduard set for the cockpit instrument panel. It was a pre-painted set and well worth using. The belts and harness are also from Eduard from the RAF WWII belts set. These are also pre-painted and the detail on them is very good. They are very fiddly to fit though! Did you use the fabric belts? or just the standard photo etch ones? Tango1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max I know what you mean, but I still think you can never have enough Spitfire's! Hope you enjoy the Hurricane's! I will look out for them.

Tango1 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Did you use the fabric belts? or just the standard photo etch ones? I just used the standard photo-etch one's, I know someone who uses the fabric ones and they look great! I think it comes down to personal preference. andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
