LSP_Kevin Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 There is a whole lot more to come yet Kev! (You may want to collate the useful bits for future LSP reference at some point when I am done if you so wish?). Derek I'm afraid I won't have anything like the time required to do such a thing Derek, but if you're prepared to put an article together, I'm prepared to publish it!

Kev Will do Kev. The easiest way for me would be to create it as a word document the create a .pdf document from it which I can e-mail to you (or several smaller word documents if you with to edit the contents) - Does that sound OK with you?

Derek Word documents are fine Derek, but whatever you do, don't embed the images! Send them along separately if you can. The ideal approach is to write placeholder text into the document for the images ("image one goes here", etc), and then name the images to match. If that's too much trouble I'll certainly understand. I may get time at some point to scrape it all out of this thread. Kev Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Great work so far - I really appreciate the effort you've put into examining the kit. I'm looking forward to the next bit with fixes! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 From the side, both are similar in shape, but the Revell part is slightly deeper that the Revell one. Shouldn't that read "From the side, both are similar in shape, but the Hasegawa part is slightly deeper than the Revell one"? All in all, superb! Thanks Derek! Looking forward to your comments on the landing gear, wheels, prop and spinner... D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D I shall edit it D (thanks for pointing it out - that is what happens when you type in the early hours of the morning when you are tired). It should say that the Revell kit is slightly deeper than the Hasegawa kit. Thank you for the nice comments. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Whilst I am still sorting out my photographs and data, here are the scans of the George Cox drawings of the Spitfire Mk.I, kindly supplied to me by Edgar Brooks, which I am using as my primary reference source.

Chek Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Great work Derek, good to see your dedication being laid out for our benefit. Although I can't help thinking ... if only you were instead working on the SLA prototypes sorting all this out a year ago before any metal was cut.
