fiedotow Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Simultaneously with Spitfire Mk. XVIe I began build Spitfire Mk . 24. I used the model Aifix, elements of Aires resin, metal elements Eduard and barrels of Master cannon. I painted sides... ... and bottom of the cabin. Instrument panel Eduard. Seat of the pilot with fastening. Complete cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nice work mate! I'm building this kit myself at the moment, though except for an Ultracast seat, it's strictly OOB. I'll be following yours with interest! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiedotow Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 This photograph was missing. It is necessary to grind sides down. Hull glued together. Well evident thickness of partition walls after the sawing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiedotow Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) In the meantime I got down to the wing. I painted running lights I painted from the inside with transparent Humbrol paints. Next Humbrol 11. Almost ready wing. Preliminary fitting in the Mk XVIe company.

LSP_Kevin Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Nice work! I'm just about at this phase myself. I've had to order some paint though, as I didn't have the correct colours in stock, so I'm just waiting for those to arrive. I have a question for you though mate: the little 'hole' atop the forward fuselage, which I presume to be the oil filler hatch, seems to be missing a cover on my kit. There's no mention of it in the instructions, and there appears to be no part for it either. Surely you're not expected to leave a hole there! Did your kit provide anything for that?

fiedotow Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Wings received the yellow leading edge. I stuck radiators. I prepared the model for painting of belts on wings and the tail. Ready exhalations and the chassis. Ready belts.

fiedotow Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 A bit of the work at 24. I put signs of the squadron today. Old Airfix decalss, but nicely overlapped each other... I used DecalFix Humbrol. In photographs I saw fine dust from the work on the alternative model. In the company Mk. XVI and coming into existence Mk. Vb I assembled the airscrew. A few amendments and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Now that looks familiar! I deliberately avoided the version of A•W2 with the Suez stripes as I didn't want to push my luck with Airfix's decals, and I didn't want to over-complicate the paint job by masking them up. Good work on yours mate! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiedotow Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Next knick-knacks... Drilled exhaust pipes (the ones on the left) The protection doesn't fit the cabin - trouble... So now he looks... Stuck running lights Evidence that the propeller is movable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiedotow Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 A few current photographs. Added rockets and the corrected damp patch after fuel which was too illiterate. A cover of the cockpit, aerials and tracks remained for the use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
