Out2gtcha Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Looking good! The IP scratch building looks killer On 2/8/2020 at 1:52 PM, Wackyracer said: I've found using the new gen Eduard panels if you shoot them with a flat/ semi/flat clear, then some super gloss/Future for the instruments it really amps up the realism of the IP panel, and does away with the semi-bumpy look of their color IP panels Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyracer Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) More detail work on the pit. Camera control now mid/dark grey and picking out the different controls and stuff. First model show of the year today so off in search of a punch and die set to use with Airscale's decal sets and ease my scratch building skills Edited March 1, 2020 by Wackyracer Landrotten Highlander, mc65, Fanes and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know what you have foound, as I too am planning to purchase something that will last me a long time (hate wasting money on things that are either poor design or used only once or twice then forgotten about).

nmayhew Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Loving this! wing root looks sweet silly question: the underside shot with what look like (but which are obviously not) cannon blisters just ahead of the wheel wells - what are they? camera blisters? sorry I know nothing about PR Spits!

Thanks. If I recall correctly they are the fuel pumps covers. I double check when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyracer Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 After last weekends model show (no punch & die set found) it was back to the bench this weekend. test fit on the pilot He armless at the minute! Bit of a wrestling match with the pit and the fuselage but some thinning and sanding and all good now. Add some more PR only parts as well as removing some not required also. Added Airscale and Barracuda decals to the scratched dials and resin parts Nick asked about the wing to fuselage fit. Well happy with it now the pit is temporarily in place. The pit pushes the sidewalls out to meet the wings. I remember test fitting the FR Pink Spit without the pit and finding it a bit slack but fine once the pit was in place. The GMF deep oil cowling is for the earlier PR machines. A very good friend vacformed me a copy from it and I used the kit piece and it to blend together. Sanding and filling to blend and a coat of Halfords to see the results; needs a little more finessing but happy with the outcome Fanes, Lothar, Anthony in NZ and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
