Jim Barry Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Great to see you take it on in it's entirety. 64cm! Love it. Cheering you on for sure. airscale 1
TorbenD Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Goodness me Peter, genuinely one of my favourite aircraft!! Delighted it's going to be tackled by your good self and in 1/18. It was on my shortlist to attempt a LSP some point of a Mk1 but frankly I'm going to bob it down that list now you're on the case. If you would like any of the reference I started to gather as well as images from hours of internet trawling, last year I took over 200 high res photos all over (and under) the FAA Museum's Firefly Mk 1, “Evelyn Intentionsâ€, which shares a whole lot of features with later variants - I crawled all over and under taking loads of detail shots and close ups of everything I could get access to including loads of the wheel wells, undercarriage, wing fold internals etc. - plenty of close up panel details too - man that thing has loads of rivets both raised and flush! The only area I struggled with access was anything under the canopy which was closed. Please PM me your email address, I'd be delighted to share all of them with to you via wetransfer.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Well, you didn't stop to ponder that one too long, eh Peter? This should be, well, above average, at least. Kev airscale 1

DonH Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Oh boy, I am crawling around on the carpet picking up bits of my brain that has just blown. Looking forward to this and thanks for the heads up. No need to prepare any models for the competition in Telford in two years' time! Guyman1 and airscale 2
Guyman1 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 This is going to one epic build Peter really looking forward to the technics involved in the process That is about to unfold. Guy Piprm and airscale 2
GMK Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 As soon as I saw “1/18†in the title, I knew who the author was. Excellent! airscale and Piprm 2
LSP_Ray Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 So this is how you are going to top the Spitfire...Wow!!! Will enjoy watching this one! Piprm and airscale 2
Chek Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Nice choice Peter, with lots of interior to be seen. Many years ago I photoshopped (a generic term - actually used Corel) a whiffer single seat fighter version for a Hyperscale article. But that would be ridiculous.

Starfighter Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I am glad you're not taking a break - I would have missed the weekly dose of awesomeness you've been providing. Can't wait to see more! Piprm and airscale 2
