Airfix 1:24 Spitfire Vb
keith in the uk replied to aerotechi's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I feel your pain ☹️ however all is not lost , i would start by removing all the decals and clear parts, then prime the model with grey car primer , rub down with a sanding stick or fine wet and dry paper , then repaint , It may be possible to obtain a replacement decal sheet from Airfix or if the kit is out of production there are other sheets available . After all your hard work its worth saving. 👍 -
Nice project , did the same thing with the 1.48th Airfix Hurricane using the MDC Resin wings ( which now droop downwards ) Not sure about the wing profile which may be different from production aircraft , i do recall there is no strake under the rear fuselage , canopy is different , undercarriage doors have a different shape and the nose profile may need a tweek , no doubt there may be other things as well which i have missed but which others here will know more about. hope this helps a bit. 👍

I have recently been given the Airfix 1.24th scale ME 109E by my brother as a birthday gift ( Vintage Classics boxing ) . The last time i built a German fighter was the original 1.72nd scale kit which came in a poly bag from Woolworths 50 + years ago. over the years i have built the Hurricane and Spitfire but never the ME 109 so my knowledge of the pros and cons of this kit is limited so a little guidance would be helpful . cheers K.

Airfix 1/72 Beaufighter TFX.
keith in the uk replied to stevej60's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Wow , you have nailed that one Steve , i like the nod to the original Airfix kit , looks good in those markings . -
I am with Malpaso on this one , elastic thread works a treat , easy to work with and cheap to buy , i have rigged a bi plane in one evening with this stuff , secrete is rig before fitting the top wing or drill holes next to the struts before fitting the wings . then feed through and fix with super glue. 👍
