Me likey. Me likey a lot! Who wants to lay odds that the first boxing will be the IIIC or IIICJ? Mike.

Looking good so far and your much further along than me now! I've only just finished painting the cockpit so hopefully I'll be onto basic assembly tomorrow. My excuse is that I'm working on two other 1/72 Spitfire Vc Trops and finishing off an HPM Atlas Cheetah D! Mike.

Excellent! Mike.

Nice! Mike.

Nicely done! Mike.

Great stuff! Mike.

Coming along nicely, that is! Mike.

Trumpeter have already included a figure of Putin in one of their T-90 kits: T-90MS Paint Guide. Mike.

Nicely done! Mike.

Hi Beard, I started one of these yesterday so here's what I've noticed so far: The trailing edge of the wings need some serious thinning down otherwise they'll be too thick. Why AZ/KP didn't engineer the new wing in the same way as the B wing is a mystery. The instructions have parts 8 and 9 labelled the wrong way round. The wing tips are a bit too pointy, although that's a mixture of being slightly too long and that the C wings are a bit narrower in chord at the outer end in comparison with the B wing parts. The engraving for the location of the oil cooler is a bit too far outboard. Seems slightly squint as well. Mike.

Excellent! Mike.

I'll second that - very good indeed! Mike.

Nicely done! Mike.

That's what I did on the Vc although I did that first then painted the interior. I'll second Beard's warning about the wheel well inserts although I did use them on my build as they provide a bit of extra support at the root for the upper wing pieces. In my case I stuck them on then carefully sanded, checking the fit of the wing as I went. Mike.

Nice start! I currently have Sword's Mk Vc on the bench. Based on what I've discovered so far, watch the fit of the radiator parts - 55 and 56. You'll need to do some sanding so part 10 fits over the top. Likewise, take care when working on the canopy as you also need to do some sanding to get a good fit with cockpit opening. Mike.
