LSP_Kevin Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks guys! I'll try to get some glamour shots done in the next day or so. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Yep, still need to enter the good shots in the GB gallery! Edited January 6, 2014 by Out2gtcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That's come out really well Kev - a very different looking Spit that is sure to be a head-turner wherever it goes. I enjoyed following along with you, and well done for getting it finished with plenty of time to spare. Speaking of which... I best get cracking Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 And so to the glamour shots. I put my new studio lighting rig through its paces. The photos are OK, but not spectacular; I don't think the auto white balance got close, as the backdrop is white, not pale green! I've got a long way to go to improve my photography skills beyond simply better lighting. And I wish I could keep the dust off this damned model! Anyway, here they are: And that brings things to a close. Thanks to everyone who followed along, and for all your works of advice and encouragement.

hamfists nz Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Looks great Kev, nice pics. What was the results for the aircraft..ie top speed (over a standard early spit) and did it break any records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 From memory they got it to just over 400 mph in early 1939, but then the He 100 came along shortly afterwards and blew it out of the water with 468 mph, and that was the end of that. It was never really a serious contender from what I understand. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hey Kev Gob smacking beautiful job there mate! Heard a rumour that there could be a new "Civie" category at Expo. I've got my fingers crossed this is true (it's from a good source, so I hope so). Now, I must get into my Percival Mew Gull! Cheers Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
