I was thinking of doing this on a 72nd Spitfire, what tools would I need and how do I go about doing it?

Maybe we should start a thread for anyone who has built one to report on what fit issues they had, my G-1 had a few!

I should have taken some photos. There is definitely a knack to building them, maybe by the third one I'll have cracked it.

Next you'll be telling me I need to 'Camm' down my Hunter obsession.

You're avon us on!

Argh again

Not before time too!

Which bit, home time or paint time?

So many models so little time. I've a mega painting session planned.

Good stuff! Welcome home

Glad to be back

Good man! Hope to be able to say the same before too long with my Voodoo build!

Well done mate

Ever tried to spray some water all around your painting area before airbrushing the gloss coat?

Only spray after the maid has been?

It never used to be a problem when I painted with a trowel!

New year of which year?

Depends how we quantify "done nothing' I suppose?

that about sums my experience up.

They might be a bit of a pain , but I prefer them to out-of-register one-piece decals

True enough, providing you put them on straight.

That's about all it'll get.

Super detailing/painting cockpits are over rated in my opinion. Bung it together and slap a bit of paint around. Who cares if it's spot on? You can't see it anyway. Maybe seat belts are ok.

agreed, if anyone comments I'll tell them the cleaners have just been in!

Have the same problem with a Intruder;)

OK to be honest the F1 is a conversion set not a complete kit but it'll come, wait and see.

Well you've done a Hunter T.7 but I'm still waiting...

you'll be soldering next

and vacforming canopies but I'll draw the line at Luft'46

I have more scratching to do today. that's what I get for building a Special Hobby kit.

Delegate, my favourite word! It's not going too bad, I've set up a few features and am tryng to select a suitable template, suspect I'll just go with the basic one if I can put my logo into it.

Images of the stock acquired. Now to figure out how to get them into the website.

I'll screenshot how to do it for you this afternoon if you haven't sussed it by then

Murphy has a phenomenal imagination; wait and see.

Murphy has been working hand in hand with me all through these builds!

Targets LOL

Try the Tamiya 1/48. They are the bizz.

You need a bucket of soapy water and a sponge.

IPMS Iceland.

They're closer than I am.

Can't imagine Nigel shopping there. Perhaps IPMS Marks & Spencers is more his style?

good one Col.

Duncan , Go Crush A GRAPE.....

Too busy polishing your new trophy? Club meeting in a few days - need some more models to impress us mortals with.

@Houston: ???

@Col.: Not been polishing my shield, haven't even had it inscribed yet! My Mojo seems to be fading away

Read on here someplace - Never put off til tomorrow that which can dry overnight

My computer in the man cave packed up so I took that as a sign to get some modelling done then my airbrushes went U/S ! Mixed messages from the modelling Gods on Mount Tamigawafix.

Which will get fixed first?

What's next, then?

I've got lots to finish. 3x Phantoms in 1/72 for example however with all the flooding around me I think I might make a seaplane or flying boat !

..start a google blog, free, easy, upload your pics and the link you get is good to go anywhere, very quick and easy

I'll have a look at that, sounds interesting.

Anyhow I've got all 3 of my 109s up in the RFI section now so it'll be a while before I'm starting another RFI.
