Interesting note in set 12 of instruction. If I leave the parts off

I have circled and check marked. This is now a Spitfire.

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.

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.

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).

Well amazingly enough that did not take too long. Now time for the filler.

 

 

 

 

[kopterdoctor 110]

Well been down with the flu.

Going to see if I can get a little done today before I run out of gas.

I still feel a bit wimpy.

Looking just like a Spitfire/Seafire, carry on but take care of your health.

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 4,287]

Not my favourite job, sanding seams but it needs doing properly, paint is the bit that always look forward to.

 

Cheers
