It was fun collaborating with you on the oil lines and antenna wiring and I'm glad we finally sorted things out, so that others don't have to. It's also cool to see how 2 different modelers attack the same kit to come up with something very similar, yet different enough to make them both very unique. Congrat's on a happy ending! Cheers, Chuck thank you Chuck, I've enjoyed it too. Yours is looking superb. Love the landing gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love it, especially the Engine... its immaculate and pristinely finished. The Cockpit is AMAZING too. (maybe you could post the pictures of the cockpit and engine in LSP Engines &LSP Cockpits thread.. that would be forever in there... thank you. ) KUDOS on a STUNNING build/model. Soon as I'm back off hols I will. Feel like I've earned a holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It looks gorgeous! Any chance you can post a photo showing the immense scale of this model? Like a shot of it sitting on your work bench with a bunch of stuff surrounding it, to give it a sense of scale? I have yet to see one of these built in real life!

CraigH Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just looking through my build pics and realised I'd missed out some of the finished engine before mounting. Since it's almost a model in itself I thought I'd include a few.... dodgem37 and themongoose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steinerman Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Wow, Craig, that is one beautiful model! It clearly shows your talent, effort and patience in all the extra detail you have put into this beauty. Thaks for sharing the finished photos.

CraigH Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 As you might have noticed, all the photos from my RFI gallery have vanished, purely because I wasn't happy with them. I've reposted below with some extra ones taken before I sell the damn thing, love it as I do. Just some tweaks on exposure and shadows and a little on temperature. I think they show the stressed skin effect better particularly around the tail fin. Also shows the cockpit and IP from Airscale in a bit better light. Added a couple of the fuel tank too. I didn't feel I could show the "dropped and dragged along the floor" look without doing them as stand alone. It'll be gone soon then it's the long wait for an anticipated end of September release date for the 1/24 Spitfire MkIXc from Airfix. Now THAT, I am looking forward to building. Important to say, I only ever use post production to try and recreate what I see with my eye, but on the photo. Never, ever any removal of faults, errors or anything else. It's warts and all. Thanks again for looking. Cheetah11, themongoose, Model_Monkey and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Beautiful. The weathering is outstanding! Cheers...to big Grummans! CraigH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
