alain11 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi A little step forward today , and to finish it with the fuselage : the belly cameras arrangement .here again , I didn't rack my brain , I did something that " looks like" , only the lens will be seen through the glass ....my drawing shows me a " reinforcement plate" in this area . It seems that it wasn't a modification of Swedish Spitfire , early PR spitfire versions already get this plate ...Okay , let's go for this ... it is simulated with self adhesive aluminium , and I am happy with this ... thank you for your interest bye Alain Rivas, leoasman, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alberto Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 It is an amazing job! I have thought many times of this project, but never got the PCM Spit , no luck..... I will copy some tricks for my Academy mk XIV (stalled at some point on the way to PR XIX)! And yes, it IS the most beautiful Spit version, if not THE plane.......... Greetings!

PS: are you on the south of France? I visit Toulouse area- Tarn ....! Hi Alberto I get my PCM Spit one E bay , keep an eye from time to time .....I am from NARBONNE , it's about 100 Km north from the Spanish border ( Barcelona) Alain Looking simply fantastic ... Keep 'em coming Peter Thank you Peter , I don't know if it a fantastic job , I am only doing my best Next step , the windscreen : it's a sensitive point , because it's a one shot trial . The plastic is thick , and strong , a bad cut , and bye bye ......One word about this windscreen : I would like to thank very much Anders who gave me the link , and thank a thousand times Jens who provided it to me ( no windscreen , no project). I highlighted the frames before cutting . Simulate the frames with self adhesive aluminium .Make some tests fitting , and after it's glued , do the " surrounded " sheets metal ....Well this is the end of the main things that must be done , the next stages are only usual stuffs thank you for your interest bye Alain Girlscanplay2, Hubert Boillot, alaninaustria and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberto Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Uh la lá ! I ´ve never been to Narbonne though I cross the frontier at Le Perthus, but I go every year to Castres for a couple of weeks (my wife is française). Trés bon travail ! Je te suive.... alain11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alain11 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi all thank you to be on my WIP , it's a pleasure to share it with you , hope you enjoy !!!! Well , this thread is coming nicely to the end . Today , the wings are glued to the fuselage . At the bottom , the joint is perfect , even better than Tamiya ...But ....the worst is coming . There is an abyssal gap between the wing and the Karman fillet ...I think I should have to empty my CA tube to fix this All is okay , the stabilizers are glued , the elevators cut off .. now , let's go to the paint workshop ..... I am not keen with the decals , even with some decal softeners , one cannot get a nice result as a painted roundel for example . so as soon as I can , and of course as far I am able to do , I do my own masks or stencils .... If you have this wonderful machine as " silhouette" , there will be no limits to do your own masks or stencils ( unfortunately , I don't have this stuff) ....So ....I cut the rudder number thank you for your interest bye Alain Rivas, Kagemusha, airscale and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
