Nose_Art Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Hi all, better late than never! The idea is to show it as it appeared May 24 1940 on the sand bar Lather, rinse, repeat. Art geedubelyer and MikeC 2

Phartycr0c Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 This will indeed be cool. So much scope on this build, Look forward to seeing this project come to fruition.
mozart Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Dunkirk beaches I reckon? My mum worked in a small factory during the war repairing bomber gun turrets.....not always a very pleasant job! Max MikeC 1
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Art, Where is that photo of the Aircraft from? Africa or Tunisia ? or in Europe? curious to know ..thank you Maru, Peter Cazenove bellied the spitfire on a sand bar off the beach of Calais, May 24th 1940. MikeC 1
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 Maru, also you can make out the Phare de Walde light tower in the distance by the prop blade. The circle marks the spot. Calais area, June 1940. Will add a HB spit to the recipe. The Hasegawa spit is in front, with the Hobby Boss behind. MikeC 1
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 The Hase fuselage with a HobbyBoss rudder. Hasegawa gives us a early and late windshield, and a flat and blown hood, cool! removed the wireless door MikeC 1
Nose_Art Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 the HB bulkhead fits good, will have to remove the bottom to fit the engine mount. thinned the side cowling panels And the HB fuselage frame #12 in place the aileron hinges, we marked were they are with tape Thanks to Maru, Shawn, Phartycroc and mozart. geedubelyer, Shaka HI and MikeC 3
mozart Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I like what I see Art, though to paraphrase one of your sig. quotes "I am confused and don't understand the situation!". Can't get a handle on exactly what/how you're planning the model. Max geedubelyer 1
dodgem37 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Smart work. I like what you're doing. Sincerely, Mark
