Loic Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Outstanding Radu, this is an other amazing realisation of yours. These radiators are really looking real I think and what to say about the wheel wells... Congratulations Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Beautiful u/c bays there Radu - your work is completely exemplary, as usual. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Fantastic work Radu! It really does look like all you've done is take a whole bunch of AM resin parts and paint them white. No glue runs, no sanding scratches, no misalignments...sheesh! You're not making it look hard enough! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 The careburettor intake/filter for the Seafire III was similar to that used on the MkIX. The Hasegawa kit offers a number of filter scoops but none of them is suitable, so I had to make one using what comes in the box. I used parts 37 and 39. I drew in pencil the line where part 37 will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 The part was cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ans this is the resulting part after it was glued to the nose underside part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 I moved on the landing gears. The doors were detailed with the angled inner faces were added and the strengthening rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 New landing gear legs were made - these are brass core with a plastic sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 And this is how the whole lot goes together. That is all for today. Painting next. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pratt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Radu your work is inspirational to say the least.Very clean.One quick question...the gear legs,were they turned on a lathe then drilled through or was it plastic tubing in the first place.Further,those gear legs would be the same for the MkV minus the torque links would they not?That new PCM MkIX could use some new legs or rather,some work done to their existing ones.Really wonderful work Radu...cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks Dave, the plastic parts were indeed tubes that were turned in the lathe. Then the brass part was slid inside. The Mk.V legs were indeed similar, minus the torque links. The Spitfire IX had this very same type of legs. I do not have the PCM Spiptfire, so I do not know what it needs. The legs were not complete in my previous pictures - the lock "ears" were not glued in place. Here are the complete legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
