Tolga ULGUR Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) This is my new project. This Spitfire Mk.1 will be finished with the markings of Turkish Air Force circa 1940 Due to age and minor problems of the old kit I will use a dozen modification. Here we go...

dennismcc Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That's certainly a different subject, I will be very interested to see this one through. Cheers Dennis Tolga ULGUR and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 This hybrid kit has fuselage and others parts from Hasegawa Mk.V kit (raised panel) with new tool (2001) recessed panel line wing parts. So, first step is modifying fuselage panel lines by scriber. LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Indeed, with your skills, I think this one will be another masterpiece. I've just not seemingly got the patience anymore for the older/have to sand down raised panel lines kits any more. Looking forward to watching this one come together!

Pete Roberts Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Nice start Tolga - don't forget to remove those raised lines behind the exhaust ports on each side. These are representing the gun heating tubes as present on the Mk V's, and weren't present on the Mk I's Cheers PR Martinnfb and Tolga ULGUR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I picked up the same kit at about the same time last year from my oldest son. He completely surprised me over the holidays giving me this kit. This is the kit for me on a shapely Spitfire to get. Looking forward to your magic Tolga. I have the awesome decals from Fundekals for this bird too! Looking forward to your work. I’m also going to try the Aires cockpit which is for the Mk-V but it can’t be that difficult to back date.

Thank you Brian As a matter of the fact we are at the same side. I also do not like playing with scriber to modifiy panel lines. But in this kit's fuselage there few panel lines for modifying. So I can stand it. Out2gtcha and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are highly distinctive. But I don t intend to mess with them Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Tolga, do your have any idea where the line up of Spitfires and Hurricanes were when the photo was taken? Obviously in Turkey, but I was curious to know where exactly. I’m also thinking the rudders were all in red? This is going to be great to see in color.

Troy Hi Troy These 2 Spitfire Mk.1 and Hurricanes (Mk.1) are from 4th Regiment 42nd Company in 1940. The region is in Çorlu Turkey. Yes all the rudders are red with white star and crescent. Camouflage colors are Dark earth and green over black. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
