elric Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Well dinner delt with lets do a bit of exploringMain part of the box has 6 bags of resin, 1 bag of etch & a bag with the u/c legs in white metalInside the brown box are 5 bags containing small parts a few loose so be careful when you open as not to drop any or the carpet monster will have them, also there is the canopy & a couple of more clear partsAnd of course the instruction booklet 6 pages with about 30 stages, lets open some bags you will have to wait whilst I take some picks & upload them Also we have a very nice decal sheet by Fantasy Printshop, you will not need much to get the backing sheet to disappear on these beauties, Bob Edited November 25, 2014 by elric Wurzacher, EmperorKai, dutik and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Now they just need to tool up an Attacker fuselage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi Lee, Yes an Attacker would be nice, maybe Graham from Iconicair could be persuaded if he sells enough of these Spitefuls first?, Bob Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) It looks very nice and clean ! Resin kits are better and better ! Edited November 25, 2014 by Zero77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ahh! the smell of fresh cast resin, a look in the bags reveals some nice parts, the panel lines areabout the same depth as Tamiya's Spitfires & the quality of the resin is suburb,The parts in the centre long & thin are to strengthen the wings plus they have part of the U/C bay onthem nice touch I think,Love the pin on the prop to locate it on the spinner back plate no mistakes on which way round [ clockwise or anti ] plus you have the correct angle as well great, Bob Derek B, Wurzacher and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have found a very small amount of flash on some parts & it is so thin you possible could take it of with your fingers,Etch is nice too & the white metal U/C legs are nice & solid not like another Co I have used which after a month bent over with the weight they were so soft,Wow! look at the resin canopy it is crystal clear had to give you a couple of pics of those,that's about it for tonight will show more tomorrow & start showing the build as well.Bob.

Guest Vulcan32 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 This kits looks so nice that I´ve ordered one. @Zero77: seems to be the clear parts for the Dashboard. Cheers, Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Zero77 yes as Heinz has said the clear parts with engraving on is for the instrument panel as seen in instructions see pic below Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi Heinz Glad to see you have joined us in purchases one of these, do not think you will be disappointed, there is a little cleaning up to do around edges & cutting casting blocks off, which I have been doing tonight so not much to show, wings or cockpit next Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Wow. That looks superb. Thanks for taking the time to show us the pieces Bob. The quality of the kit looks second to none in your images. Unfortunately, the Spiteful is not an aeroplane that particularly sparks my interest. For me, it lost much of the Sptifire's grace which is a shame as I think I'd enjoy tackling one of these. (Now if Graham could be persuaded to produce a dH-88 Comet or Supermarine S-6b racer to this standard I think I'd take the plunge.) I hope the kit builds as well as it looks and I certainly wish Iconicair every success with this product. Perhaps you might start a build log Bob? Cheers.
