  1. Hello PC ... Really looking forward to this. I have a 1/48 resin conversion for a Mk.XII. I failed in the first attempt years ago, so it is waiting in the wings for its day. Guess I’ll pull up a stool at the Bar. Seeing as I’m a bit late to the happenings. Dennis
  2. Hello @wimbledon99 ... 👍 signed you up in the add on list up the page. Once Sabre_days gets back or can add you to the original list im sure he will. Dennis
  3. Excellent work on a type im not familiar with. Off to google to learn.
  4. Nice choice 👍 I have a set of those masks for a Tempest. I will follow to see if they work or if i need to stay with my tape/Tack worms ? Dennis
  5. Hello Stressy ... to the Forum from the USA. Im predominately aircraft myself, WW2 & Coldwar types. Dennis
  6. Great job on your Hurri’s PC ... Looked at the link to your stash. Im drooling over your “Clunk” the CF-100. However don't listen to me for advice, i’ll tell you to build them all.
  7. Minion noseart was great to see ! 👍
  8. Hello Flying T ... to Britmodeller from Chicago. Anything i can help with when it comes to airplanes please ask. Dennis
  9. Great looking Mk.VIII ... I really do like the old Arii’s.
  10. Yeah the Hasegawa kits are almost entirely devoid of munitions. Hasegawa wants you to purchase the weapons separately.
  11. Beautiful work 👍 ... Forgive me but i need to do this “Taka Taka Taka Taka”. I always hear that whenever i see the movie.
  12. Hello Dave, Im collecting info on Tempest Mk.VI’s as i have a 1979 heller Mk.V im planning on converting ? I came across your build and will reference this build as i progress. Would you have any tips/advice for me on this conversion ? Do you have any close-up photo’s of the wing inlets or the sand filter that i could use ? Any help would be greatly appreciated ? Dennis
  13. What pieces are you missing exactly ? Someone here may have what you need in there spares files ?
  14. Hello @Giorgio N, @Jure Miljevic, & @Graham Boak ... I truly appreciate all the help i recieve from fellow Forum members. This will be my first true attempt at moderate conversions. Both the Spitfire from a XIV to a XVIII. Also the Tempest Mk.V to a MK.VI. I am attempting to convert the XIV-XVIII. I know about the rudder. The kit im working with already has the bigger rudder( AZ/Legato). The instructions had me remove the original and replace with a slightly larger Rudder. Was originally confused as to why, but did it. Now i understand why, as this was the retrofitted 18 rudder. I think i have satisfactory drawings to attempt a rescribe of the panel lines particularly on the wing. I will have to re-add the original tips as i originally was build a clipped wing XIV. Not a big deal as i need to rescribe so i will nned to re-sand the wings anyhow. The camera windows are already scribed in the lower fuselage. Just need to drill them and the Fuselage ones out. I know about modifying the wings on my Tempest Mk.V to a Mk.VI With oil coolers in the leading edge of the wings. I have the 4-views of these already and should be able to get these done. Im hoping this will work out in the end. I really do want to do this Camouflage scheme. Anyone know of a Tamiya/Vallejo color mix to get Light slate grey ? I have the other two colors in the paint rack? I was thinking Tamiya light sea grey mixed with a few drops of Dk. green to get the Grey/Green color ? If anyone can offer any help on anything im possibly missing ? Dennis
  15. Thanks @Giorgio N I had been in the process of changing my original post. What are the differences in the Mk.XIV & XVIII ? Ive only read minor changes in the wing from a XIV to a XVIII ? Otherwise they’re very much a similar aircraft ? Im currently planning for some near future builds ? Dennis
