    Jay, it looks great! Are your drawings 1:1 scale and then reduced to 1:18 scale? Do you compensate for the aluminum skinning?

    I also think the kit spinner is good. Seems the blade opening proportions are more accurate

    Such a clean incredible build…old school! Congratulations on getting this far, you are almost there.

    What an incredible build!! Well done!!

    Looks great Jay!! Got your own bone yard going on . So much progress in such a short time

    Nice start. Did you make the tie downs or were they supplied in the kit?

    That stinks, sorry to hear about the lift issue. My first thought was the resin is still drying and shrinking which is causing the inner panels to buckle. Maybe mic a freshly printed piece and measure it again in a week.

    Looks great Jay. Happy new year!

    Besides the great cockpit details , your instrument dials always look so great!!

    Mike, nice job on the prop. The previous photo of the underside of the nacelle. The jagged shapes, are they the side fabric wrapped under the floor?

    Peter…well done! Inspirational , love it

    Interesting and quite a “can of worms”. If memory serves me, weren’t the camouflaged aircraft stripped of paint by their ground crews. What did those aircraft wings look like! Jay, excellent work by the way! My own building efforts seem boring in comparison with the level of detail 3D printing gives.

    Jay, are your Rhino drawings 1:1 scale and then scaled to 1/18 for printing?
  14. Paulpk
    Jay, great outcome. I liked your idea of making a jig for getting the rod bent to the correct profile.
  15. Paulpk
    Great progress. I like your approach to matching the original design. Looks like it will be pretty strong. This issue with printings not working out, is it the resin?
  16. Paulpk
    Jay, I look forward to your updates. I am glad you decided to change out that boot
  17. Paulpk
    Nice recovery!
  18. Paulpk
    Just insane detail I can just imagine the many hours of research and drawing involved. Excellent!

    Jay, I don’t understand why the warning label was needed if the canopy just went back. Label states drop seat and lower head? I guess the wind could or would rip the canopy off. Could the hood be opened in flight?
  20. Paulpk
    Nice work! Do you or anyone else know the meaning of all the silhouettes? I assume… planes is upper left = straffing runs? 2 crosses = shared kills? 4 swastikas = kills bombs = bombing runs artillery? = flak emplacement attacks? locomotives = rail attacks

    Tony…outstanding. I notice your parts don’t show any striations, just perfect surfaces. What determines that finish? The 8K resin, is that stronger than the 4K?

    Jay, great work. I am very suspect of restored equipment in private use as being totally accurately restored. So I’d stick to period photos myself. I find this so true with armor vehicle restorations. I knew of the Malcom hood but not the details of usage or installation. I find the cranking system to close and open questionable. I hope there was an over ride when you needed to escape fast I searched today for an answer to your question and probably came up with the same answers you have. There must be a set of instructions for installation somewhere in a British museum. Have you contacted any museum?
  23. Paulpk
    Very nice work. Are your formers also brass?
  24. Paulpk
    Wow wow wow . . . wow so, with that canopy closed, how the h_ _ _ did the pilot fly this thing! Not easily. Great job Peter!
  25. Paulpk
    Go with your reference. I would forget what it should look like
