PhantomBigStu Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Superb build, my favourite BoB spitfire given real justice unlike my attempts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thoroughly impressed by this timely couple! Great Spit portrayal (thankfully devoid of blackwashed panel lines) and a lovely bowser (with offset front wheels - yummee!). Inspiring builds. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(ex)Sgtrafman Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Look's superb Iain,colour's look spot on and the Albion turned out equally as good! Hi Steve Thanks mate the Spitfire is OK but I'm very happy with the Albion, if I were to build another there are several things I'd do differently (just make painting easier) but overall I really enjoyed the whole experience. What an absolute cracker Hey Steve Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. Nice one! Cannot beat an awesome Spitfire build..... Yep there it is. Lovely work on that, great weathering and finish. Love it Hoofin stuff. ChuckB Hey Chuck Thanks mate, means alot. A great looking Spit, very impressive job. Hi Doozer Thanks fella Both are superb you must be well pleased. Hey Fingers Yes I am Very nice Spit and the paint finish looks great. Hey Knight_flyer Thanks. It's not perfect by any means (if you look real close) but I am getting better. Superb build, my favourite BoB spitfire given real justice unlike my attempts Hi Phantom Thank you - and I'm sure all your builds are corkers too! Thoroughly impressed by this timely couple! Great Spit portrayal (thankfully devoid of blackwashed panel lines) and a lovely bowser (with offset front wheels - yummee!). Inspiring builds. Kind regards, Joachim Hi Spitfire31 With a name like that you must LOVE Spits (fair play)..thanks mate I had a great time building them both. Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I made a start on my Hurricane yesterday by hacking it apart (gulp) and I'll be accompanying this with the Bedford MWD as part of a diorama. All the best Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 great to see it finished, I've still not finished my smaller version of it, shameful really given the I've not got a truck to build with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 That is such a fine build and finish, it is difficult to be gushy about it. It exudes class in the build, in the finish and in the very delicate weathering job. It is pure artistry and thank you for presenting it to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockhands Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Dear Lain, Very impressive! I must admit I had not come across the yellow "Gas Warning Patch" before, but this seems quite authentic as it is shown in the Film shot at the time :- and can be clearly seen on the early footage of LZ-X. Whether it also appeared on Squadron Leader Rupert Leigh's R6800 is open to speculation, as I cannot find any shots of that aircraft showing the port side wing.Non-the-less, a very good example.

Garry c Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The colours on the exhaust pipes are brilliant. The more I look, the more I like. Garry c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
