    Thanks for the input. Edgar, it is an honour to have you stop by. After two and a half years on the shelf I was more interested in getting it finished so I knew there were at least a couple of inaccuracies. The aerial is news to me, though, should it be bare metal? If so, it's an easy fix as are the muzzle patches.

    Doh! I've just realised it's in the wrong place.
  3. dadgaddad
    yes, that's working properly now.

    Kids nowadays, eh? When I was at college I didn't stop for dinner. I couldn't afford dinner.

    It's taken 2 1/2 years but she's finally finished. The upper surfaces were brush painted with Humbrol acrylics and the undersides sprayed with Humbrol and Revell enamels. Panel lines were washed with Citadel Nuln Oil and the whole thing given a couple of coats of Humbrol Mattcote which came up very nicely. Exhaust stains were black and grey pastels applied with a cotton bud. I added an Eduard etch harness to the seat and replaced the gunsight with a ring and bead sight made from wire and stretched sprue.

    Here's something I thought was interesting. A book of aircraft crash sites where everyone survived. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/11342934/Happy-End-photographs-of-miraculous-aeroplane-crashes-where-everyone-survived.html?frame=3163470

    Here's my Tamiya Spitfire. First kit built since the (very) early eighties!

    I would recommend the 1/48 Tamiya Spitfire Mk I as a first kit. It's the one I started back with and found it an easy build. I would avoid the Eduard Mk IX for the time being although it's a great kit and you will want one sooner or later.

    Not sure 2 1/2 years qualifies as quick!

    One of the many reasons for the lack of movement on this project is that I have had loads of difficulty with getting my (cheap Chinese) airbrush to work. After my last attempt once again failed to get the paint out the front instead of through the paint cup I got so fed up with it I grabbed a hairy stick and started slapping paint on. As a result I have actually made some progress for once. So here she is almost there. Upper surfaces done, decals on and one coat of Humbrol Mattcote later this is what she looks like. Just a few minor jobs left to do, some small paint touch ups here and there, wheels and aerial on and that's about it.

    Ooh! With a Sea Hawk, a Sea Fury and a Wyvern, does it matter which one you do next? I like your style. They had one of these in my LMS last time I was there so I might have to go back and "have a look".

    Nice work. I've always liked the A-10 as I remember watching them fly over my house when I was a boy.

    I can wait.
  20. dadgaddad
    Ok, that's me on board already. Carry on.

    Nice work. Does any scheme look as good as EDSG over Sky? Especially on a Seafire.
  22. dadgaddad
    RB Productions makes a Sutton harness in 1/24 which is supposed to be very good. http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=89_125&products_id=459

    Well, let the moaners moan and the complainers complain. I for one have thoroughly enjoyed this thread, the wild speculation, the humour, the build up and the final announcement. I may or may not buy any of these three kits but the use of LIDAR is brilliant and the results look very promising. Let's do it all again in December. 1/24 RN Phantom anyone?
  24. dadgaddad
    Are you certain about that?
  25. dadgaddad
    It's going to be a new tool Spitfire with extra sprues allowing you to build any version you like in 1/24 1/48 1/72 or 1/144.
