John B Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) I'm pretty sure this falls under the 25% started category. I started some of the Eduard Interior pieces and some general test fitting, all parts off the sprue. I some aftermarket Quickboost Exhausts, Master Barrels, I probably have a Barracuda wheel set floating around somewhere. AIMS decals for the Monotone Spitfires, beautiful set that also goes with the PR conversions sets, a very good bargain considering all the extra Non-PR markings.

dennismcc Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 One of my favourite kits, an oldy but a goldy. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Progress so far has been slow. Gathered some detail sets to assist in the cockpit and such. The PE seat from Eduard is just awful, the basically copied the Hasegawa part which is a way oversized recliner chair for a RAF Pilot who has a huge butt or Flying Hippo. I'll be using the Barracuda detail for sure. "Resin that's good enough to eat" This kit was started by previous Modeler who glued the side cockpit parts in w/o detailing them. I removed the parts which didn't survive which is okay since I have another doner kit to provide those replacement parts, a Aires cockpit is slated for that kit. Some PE elements installed on the replacement kit parts. Cleaned it up and assembled the Eduard PE on the internal frame which goes behind the cockpit, I placed some plastic supports to give the frame something more to adhere to. Thanks for all the encouragement, more to follow soon. JB BradG, Rockie Yarwood, LSP_Kevin and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Got some interior work done. I have some comparisons for you to see, kit vs Barracuda Cast. It is the obvious choice if you plan on doing a project like this. Kit on left, Barracuda, Eduard The Pipe Fitters Union and Electricians are getting things going in the right direction. The Airframers started hammering out the Wheel wells for Eduard PE to follow. The Tritool or something similar makes quick work of this and Bob's your Uncle. That's all for now, Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. JB Dpgsbody55, Fanes, IainM and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sorry, I will not be able to finish this one, too many things came up the past two months. We put on a Model contest in October and it ate all my free time. Right now not much free time for hobbies with Holiday planning with the family. Busy, Busy, Busy. Respectfully, JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
