Thunnus Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I can see this becoming a reference standard for future Spitfire builds. That wiring in the cockpit is crazy good and clean too. Mine always gets futzed by blobs of CA glue! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Progress on the pneumatic system in the rear fuselage : From left to right: air filter with moisture trap, pressure equalizer oil trap One item which is missing is the radiator flaps electro relay which is located on the rear of former 11. It will be added next The various lines will be added after painting and the connection between the "floor" lines and the bottles will be done once the fuselage is closed, from underneath Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Amazing detail, Vincent. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durangokid Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I just found your build and it is amazing! The wiring alone is incredible. For some reason that is a skill I just can't seem to acquire. I'm looking forward to more updates... Bryan Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmoran Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Incredible detail work! If you no longer do masters for resin casting, there are many of us here who would buy a book describing the processes you use to make such exquisite detail..(hint, hint).

Guest Vincent Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) The wing radiators electro valve is now done and installed. Lines (3) will be added once the parts are painted green it will, as the bottles, remain perfectly visible once the fuselage is closed And thanks to all for the kind words !

Guest Vincent Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Today's program was to remove the central underside id lamp that does not exist on the VIII but is a leftover from the IX part : Missing details are restored And the inside gets its stiffeners according to the VIII pattern Edited May 17, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 You sure do that filling neater than I do. I typically have to replace detail in a one inch circle from where I remove detail! Martinnfb and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
