Col. Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This makes for a good model out of the box and what could be more British than a Spitfire. Nice choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Coming along nicely Martin. The fuel tank part looks as though it could take some work to sort out but I'm sure you knock it into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thanks John The part itself seems to be narrower to the rear [A tad warped] but the plastic has some flex in it which should help. Also the under fuselage lugs needed a bit of surgery to fit. More pics and progress soon Thanks for looking Martin H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well done on finishing this one Martin. Black is not an easy colour to work with but you have achieved a good result here, and it's a colour that I have rarely seen on a Spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
