Jørgen Tangerud Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just rescently finished this one, a gem of a kit. Im still not "up there" when it comes to the final touches, so i`ll leave this as it is, so i dont mess it up more.Need some practicing on exhausts......eek. Well, pictures says more than words. And i must learn how to not get my pictures so damn grainy......... :/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks good. Do the seatbelts come in the kit or are they aftermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jørgen Tangerud Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 No real problems with fit, was some sanding need on the upper cowl, but thats it.A realy gem, had planned to build it "Norwegian", using vingtors North Weald decals, but the schemes that id liked had short airintakes, so was too late.Will deffo build more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks good. Do the seatbelts come in the kit or are they aftermarket? The seatbelts are in the kit, unless you buy the "overtrees" version direct from Eduard which contains the plastic only. Buy one, you will not be disappointed!

Spitfire31 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Very nice build! Seems to be a very good kit, too. One nitpick concerns that red cockpit crowbar, again… ;-) You might want to read this thread: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939210-spitfire-crowbar-colour-possibly-again/ About your problems with grainy pics, they look like that because you likely had the sensitivity of your camera set on 'automatic' and the lighting was probably quite dim. The camera therefore selected a high sensitivity, which unfortunately also means quite a bit of noise. The remedy is to 1) set the sensitivity manually to something like ISO 100 and, if you can't provide stronger lighting, put the camera on a firm support, such as a tripod. Why? Because, since the camera is 'starved' of sensitivity, it compensates by using longer shutter times. If you hand hold, you're likely to get fuzzy pics because of camera shake. Good luck!

Jørgen Tangerud Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Some better pictures, taken outside in better ligthningconditions. Will repaint the crowbar, allways thought it was red, but now i know better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jørgen Tangerud Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 When i started this build, the plan was to use vingtors North Weald decals, for a norwegian machine, but i descided to go for this one since most of the ones from the vingtor sheet had short intakes. Now someone in IPMS Norway told me that this machine was flown by B-Flight Commander Thorvald Johnsen at least 3 times, so that adds a Norwegian history to this one aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
