tchwrma Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Well, folks, I'm starting one more GB. I hope you can finish this one. I have already chosen a simple kit, so that I can finish it on time. I'll try not to invent much. The kit chosen is this: This is the Spitfire MkII new tool from Revell, which will be modified to an MkV LF from the end of the war, already under French flag. the parts needed for modification will be donated from the Tamiya MkIX kit, plus some afters. This is the subject: And this is the kit: Here the afters, a Yahu panel, a aires resin cockpit, exhausts, a resin door, Eduard flaps PE, metal gun barrels and the parts donated by Tamiya kit. Here the original decals and the french, from Tamiya kit. I forgot to buy a Rotol propeller, required on this plane, but later I solve this. Soon the first pics of the job.

I neve was capable to made a kit in so short time. My work is more slow. I simply could not pass to the next step without being absolutely sure that I not leave nothing wrong behind. This is one of my faults. Your plane is beautiful. I hope I can do such a beautiful job. Thanks for your words. Best regards, Paulo.

I think the simplicity of it compared to my previous project is was made it go so much faster. Carl tchwrma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchwrma Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Starting, I did the panel with a almost ready panel of Yahu, who let me only the job of mask the instruments to paint it with flat varnish, as the original went gloss. In the rest of the cockpit I used some original parts, some parts from Tamiya kit, and some parts of the Aires resin cockpit, and some scratch. more to come...

Carl I used high macro to get the real state of the parts. This caused the impression that they have errors. The scrapped parts will disappears, when assembled. Thanks for your words. I hope that mine could be so good as yours. Paulo. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
