Squizzy 78 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 There isn't one photo that looks like a model, everything looks like a part of a real aircraft! Amazing work. airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nillus Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Where you going to find a 1/18 scale pilot to fly the thing? Uilleann and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's a good thing any patents on the Spitfire have expired ... you'd be in hot water for intellectual property infringement otherwise! Jim allthumbs and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It'll be worth a trip to Telford this autumn just to see this. Cracking work Peter. Cheers. airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Peter, I think it almost goes without saying that this is an astonishing project, mind blowing in fact. Quick question, where do you those little brass nuts and other fixings from? Cheers, Jamie. (BTW, just used a ton of your stuff in my latest build, Wyvern 1:48!). airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airscale Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 evening folks Peter, I think it almost goes without saying that this is an astonishing project, mind blowing in fact.Quick question, where do you those little brass nuts and other fixings from?Cheers,Jamie. (BTW, just used a ton of your stuff in my latest build, Wyvern 1:48!). Hi Jamie - thanks for stopping by - they were from Scale Hardware who have just sold the business to someone else and I can't find the link now... I also get that sort of stuff from the car guys - checkout RB Motion and Hiroboy ..bit more done - the first thing was a coat of interior green after using maskol to cover parts I wanted to keep metal and the control yoke rubber... ..the control column after adding back the piping - the brass isn't strictly correct for the gun button, but I like it.. ..the main framework assembled... ..one of the benefits of using metal for construction is I can just wear the paint away for weathering like here on the pedals.. ..and the whole unit assembled.. ..and here sitting dry fitted in the cockpit pod the open construction is clearly seen.. ..thats it for now TTFNPeter kike_gt, allthumbs, TorbenD and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleann Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Every time I see another of Peter's posts, my retinas explode in small fireballs. It hurts. Kinda like Wolverine and his magic fingernails. But I'm feeling a little better now. ClumsyDude and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Peter Magnificent. At completion, the Spitfire should be put on display at the museum of your choice, so all can appreciate the incredible workmanship. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Det här är fantastiskt. Jag har inget mer att säga till nästa gång Edited March 20, 2017 by DonH Christoffer Lindelav and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Sweet work Peter. Just totally sweet work and a total joy to watch unfold. It will be a very sad day when this "model" is actually finished. Hat is off. Cheers, Chuck airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
