I watched my previously recorded ‘Warplane Workshop’ last night on MkV AR501 at Old Warden ( not the MkXIV at Sywell as previously mentioned so I must have missed an episode ) which had plenty of close up shots of the wing root fairings which showed just how accurate the Kotare representation is.

Wow! That’s a huge improvement on the original, I’m not sure that I’ll be going that far with mine though. John

I’ll copy your idiot’s guide if I may for use on any future Hurricane builds. Can you do one for 1/32 Spitfires now please? John

I hope that the Kotare Spitfire Va arrives soon so that I can join with my Vb trop conversion. John

I recorded that programme last night and will watch it at some time when SWMBO is otherwise engaged. Looking forward to the dark green. John

That’s an impressive display of AM goodies, will you need them all? John

Ditto on the paintwork. I like the raised rivets and ‘ lapping ‘ on the rear fuselage. I know that some people think of it as enhancement rather than detail but it works well for me in the larger scales. Keep on keeping on. John -
A possible solution to the underside wing/ fuselage would be to score across the inside of the wings just in front of the lamp recess then glue that section with tube glue and wrap it tightly with rubber bands. I haven’t tried it on the thicker plastic of a 1/32 kit but it’s worked worked for me on 1/48 in the past. Good luck. John

A little late to the party I’m afraid but I’ll follow if I may as I have one of these too. Between yours and the @PEYSSON Gilles build I will have lots of references and tips. Going back to the beginning to read through again. John PS: I’ll definitely be investing in one of the 3D seats. -
Thanks for the info. The ‘ rib tapes ‘ look good under the primer and the leading edge inserts seem to have blended in well, which is always a bonus. John
-
An excellent idea for rib tapes, which type of Oramask do you use please? John

You can buy the ‘rivet punches ‘ in craft shops where they are known as beading tools and used in jewellery making. I bought an MDC riveting tool a few years ago which consisted of the handle and a couple of punches and have added more over time until I now have about a dozen, I just don’t have the stand. John
