Nice work. I've nearly finished assembling one of these and it's a simple build. Don't bother with the pilot though, not only is s/he child-sized but wearing a modern helmet.
You are right about the pilot. I think it will be better with-out. Looking forward to seeing your PRXIX.
Camera's in, which was fun and games. I did dry fit it all and closes OK. Now to carry on with the eduard stuff.
Thanks you for looking and hope you are enjoying the build as I am.

Watching with interest. I wish Airfix would go he extra step and take advantage of these moulds to put out a new XIV.
It would be nice if they did. Plus another great Spitfire for us to build.

That does look nice and really well made. I like the paint work you have done, sets it of nicely

This is my next build a Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX using a Airfix kit and trying to use eduard photoetched kit and a Edice camera kit. So will be quit fun trying to put it all together.I dont think I will be using the Pilot ( but may just pop him in to see ).

interesting looking aircraft. nice to see someone has built one, what did you use for the top wing??
I used 2 airfix Hurricanes, and just filled in where needed. I dare say the parts I did not use will come in hady one day. Mind you I have got spare wings of a Spitfire, wonder if they would fit a Hurraicane fusalage and what it would look like ?
I did put it in the work in progress-aircraft.

Some 'research' done, whilst drinking a second pint, none of which proves or disproves Troy's opinion regarding the colour of the spinner.
This isn't about the aircraft you're modelling (and doesn't mention spinners) but has some interesting stuff:
I'm not sure this photograph helps either:
I Think I will leave it just as it is.I dare say we will never really know and if I do ever find the ans I can always repaint the spinner the right colour.
Hope you enjoyed your second pint

F-81 is right, RAF Dark Green,. XF-50 isn't, Tamiya did some specific RAF paints when they did their 1/32nd Spitfire, XF-81, and the greys XF-82 and XF-83,
XF-82 is what you want, Ocean Grey
A bit more painting to be done and changed then.
Thank you for your help, will get that sorted.
Have sorted the paint XF-50 repainted to XF-82 and the red spinner, change to XF-81. It doeslook better now. Thank you Troy Smith for you help.

A bit more done to the Hurricane. Underside painted with a coat of Tamiya XF-4 Yellow Greem and the a light coat of Tamiya XF-3 Flat Yellow, for the camoufage again Tamiya XF-50 Field Blue and XF-81 Dark Green. I dont know if they are the right colour, but look about right by me.
Thanks for looking, willing for any advice.
