kopterdoctor Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Interesting note in set 12 of instruction. If I leave the parts off I have circled and check marked. This is now a Spitfire. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopterdoctor Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Will here’s where I’m so far. This has been a challenge, nothing has fit right so far. Everything has needs sanded or trimmed in some way or another. Also going to need some filler. Gazzas, MikeC, MikeMaben and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 They are a bit "challenging" but worth it in the end, this kit in it's Spitfire Mk.II guise was my first attempt at improving a kit using an article from a modelling mag called "Guilding the Lily", it set me on the path of bodging plastic kits.

kopterdoctor Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just spent 4 hours trimming, sanding the wing parts to get them to fit. Now of Crouse the wing assy. will not fit in the fuselage now. Time for the dremel tool. I sure pick a good one too start with (NOT). coogrfan, BiggTim and Trak-Tor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kopterdoctor Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 I've been filling seams, and sanding. Going to need a second fill. Hi All I just mixed up the RIF Blue gray for the top side, and the Light Gull gray for the bottom. Waiting for more filler to dry. How fully the paint next.

dennismcc Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Not my favourite job, sanding seams but it needs doing properly, paint is the bit that always look forward to. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
