AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I haven't decided which aircraft this will be finished as yet but I've mad a start, photos to follow. I managed to get a couple of hours at the bench yesterday after spending most of the day with GB maintenance. So fare I've put the IP together using Eduard's PE set. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi Mish. Good to see another one of these being built - and sounds like a bargain too! I think, at some point, one of these kits will be my first foray into 1/32. Looking forward to seeing your version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to build it out of the box but I have decided to using Eduard PE set and some Eduard canopy masks. And one I have decided on the aircraft I will get some camo masks made for it.

BerndM Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 The start of a very nice project, will you build the Spit oob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 The start of a very nice project, will you build the Spit oob? Yes it will be sort of OOB apart from using the Eduard PE set Anyway I've decided on which aircraft I will be building, she will be: P7665 YT L from Kirton in Lindsey and I hope to use some custom made masks from Top Notch Bases and Masks Sorry still no photos as I'm in the middle of changing roles at work so having to play catch up once I get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 That's looking great Mish! I'm so tempted to join in the fun, any room for a latecomer in the GB? I'll ask the hosts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 ERM point of order mish? Out of the box I recall you saying at billericay? Lol Err... Well... It sorta just snuck up on me. I though well the PE IP looks good, then I looked at the kit seat and thought it was little lacking and the PE seat was a little too, well PE so in went the resin seat. The the PE seatbelts looked a little 'flat' so out come the fabric ones. Don't think I will be adding much more... That's looking great Mish! I'm so tempted to join in the fun, any room for a latecomer in the GB? I'll ask the hosts... Thanks Mark, looking forward to your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKguyInUSA Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Looking very nice indeedy I started this kit a month ago, but, I had to stop because I had two upper starboard side wing halves and no portside, and, the tail end of my portside fuselage half was all distorted. I just got replacement parts today, so, my build will be resuming this weekend! Those seat-belts really help set it off. I always model straight from the box, no additions. Enjoy the rest of your build, I'll be following to take some pointers from your build. Cheers, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadgaddad Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I really must get myself one of these, they look like a lot of fun and yours is coming along very nicely. What was the Sutton harness like to work with? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the Sutton harness like to work with? It's a bit fiddly but this is about the fifth or sixth one I have used so I'm getting used to them.

Airgunner Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Looking very nice, I've so far resisted the urge to get one of these but seeing some of the builds here and some very favourable prices, I think I may crack soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
