Once again Rob it was great to have a good chat with but I think you really need to get into this 'pensioner' groove and get more building time...
As for this interesting character build, fantastic, with those beautiful close-ups of the real thing I'm sure we're in for a treat.

Anyway, I've redone the cavitation plates, rudders and props, courtesy of Courageous - thanks again!
You're very welcome Fraser, I was never going to use them.

Looking very nice and smooth. I might need to find one of those incra-rule weapons.

A nice bit of surgery and the aft structure is coming along great.

Great looking gliders that didn't look dead to me. Drones looked rather cool too. Thanks for odd tipple at 1am.

And I saw you too, unfortunately natured called, then I was hungry and when I passed next, dispersal had occurred. Hopefully next year.

It's fun to see the two being built with variations.
My words too. Good work Wayne.

Nice to see you back the bench Ben. As for the kit, I've only ever built one kit from 'Attack' and my thoughts were much along what you've been saying. Keep going.

Blimey, built and nearly painted in just a few days. Imagine how many more can be done before GB closure

Fantastic work Alan. After the horse animation. I knew that the poor chap was in for it big time, fascinating to watch. I hope you're not an orthopaedic surgeon for a day job...

6 inch guns?
Hi Ray, I personally would go down the micro tubing route. Albion Alloys does slide fit (telescopic) tubing and their 0.2/0.4/0.6/0.8/1.0mm set would be useful for your 6" guns. If you haven't used their aluminium tubing, it is easily cut by using a sharp scalpel; apply slight pressure with blade while slowly rolling the tube. Careful you don't lose bits. All being well, you'll still have a bore for your 6" shell. Can't help with with arcs of fire.

Totally agree with @Andreas.R & @Steve D comments. What I'd like to know after you're done those billion rivets is, how big are those things, would they be printable?

It's moving along even if is 'same parts, different shapes'. That bl**dy matchstick loves getting in on the act...

I agree Bertie. Unfortunately, I completely forgot about the mounting arrangement until I'd got the wings on...Best of a bad job.

Love what you're doing here Bertie with that 'rivet gun', looks very effective.

Very interesting stuff happening here Ray. To think that two kits are used to make 'the one', is a little disconcerting but you can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. And when a kit doesn't exist, you don't have very many options. Carry on good man.

@Spitfire31 @georgeusa @mick @MACALAIN @Winded Penguin Cheers guys, much appreciated. I wanted to do a different in-flight pose but wasn't sure about the undercarriage operation...asymmetric, glad I got that right. It was handy that I watched a recent 'Warplane Workshop' episode on TV and it featured the Mk. XIV Spit that confirmed the asymmetric operation.

@Corsairfoxfouruncle Cheers Dennis, glad you like it.

...... only kidding! That little attention to realisim makes the whole scene come alive.
Thanks Terry. Wanted to do something a little different with the 'in flight' thing but wanted to make sure about the undercarriage. A recent episode of 'Warplane Workshop' had a Mk.XIV which was handy, et viola.

Love the pose you've created this one in; something different that works for the Spitfire and her clean lines.
Glad you like it Col, it does look cool.

Is it done...
Spinner painted with the suggested colour of H327 Red by Mr Hobby. Tried the red on white, grey and black primers, grey was the closest, so went with that. A satin coat was applied overall before de-masking the canopy, fitting the aerial, pitot, exhausts and finally the undercarriage. Mini magnets were used on 'stick' and in wheel well.
Job done.

Indeed, adds more interest to an already busy subject.

Sorry for the lack of progress but life and SMW had taken over. Back now.
New I'd missed something off my SMW shopping list...decal sheet for laser printer, easy enough to get a hold of. Producing the decal shouldn't be a problem (famous last words) if I use white.
Anyways...
Everything has a coat of AK's Khaki Green No.3
