It depends on the thickness of the framing and how you plan to line the inside.Foil backed foam insulation,Kingspan is a brand name and is applied in much the same way as Hoover is for vacuum cleaners,comes in various thicknesses which don't usually match up to off the shelf (cheaper) thicknesses of timber.If you are going to board out the inside after you've fitted the insulation you will have to add to the framing in the corners so that you have something to fix the boards to. You could pack out the framing to match the thickness of the insulation but that creates a lot of work which is much easier if you possess your own table saw. This photo,although not a shed,shows what you're probably aiming for. Hope this is of use.

You'll have to work for it but it does go together with a bit of forethought Storage hasn't been kind to mine,she's due a bit of a tart up sometime soon.I'd happily build another one.

Disgraceful. Formerly.

The English Patient. I walk backwards away from The Kinema In The Woods smiling and in posession of my ticket money. Never in my life have I been so pleased to escape from something,that flick was absolutely dire.Even the flying sequences didn't make up for the inflicted despondancy.

It must be desperately upsetting for you to see these once mighty reduced to such ignimony.Good works on the plastic old fruit.

Photo found here https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/uk/raf/spit/spitfire-vb-w3134/ At the risk of stating the obvious I'm of the opinion that the shape of the underwing blister probably indicates whether or not the airframe was built as a Vb in the first place.

The Eduard 1/48th Vb Early has the earlier type underwing cannon blisters https://www.super-hobby.com/products/Spitfire-Mk.Vb-Early-Weekend-Edition.html I would hazard that the 1/72nd kit will probably follow suit. The IIb has the same lower wing and the Mid Production Vb has the later kidney shaped blisters https://www.eduard.com/eduard/plastic-kits/spitfire-mk-vb-mid-1-48.html .

I'm given to understand that you won't go far adrift with Jumppei Temma's works. https://soyuyo.main.jp/spit5b/spit5be-1.html This is 1/48th but it'll give you a start.

The population in my village has remained the same since 1732. Every time a child is born some young man has to leave town...

I realise it's a tad more expensive than you might want but you won't go far wrong with this combination https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airbrush-compressor-reservoir-Fengda-FD-186/dp/B019CKXBOU https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fengda-Airbrush-All-Purpose-Precision-Dual-Action/dp/B01984HJ48 The compressor has a pressure regulator on its output and runs very quietly so it's not hammering away at your hearing while in use.The airbrush is pretty solid and viceless and the nozzle and needle can be changed for other size combinations which are easily available and not massively expensive.

I think it's safe to say that you've got the hang of that. . Be proud of that old fruit,very proud.

They were eventually , Not my photo

As Hook said,corrosion prevention She looks a treat old fruit,well done .

Make that 100%
