stevej60 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi folk's,laying a marker for later in the GB for the Hurricane,I've had such a great time with the little Spitfire I had to have a Hurricane too as digging around I found some spare decal's if the kit one's are no good £6:99 at King Kit be here in a day or two. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 you are doing a great job Steve. You are getting them of the asembely line very fast and I love it to see what you are doing. Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This kit has happy memories for me and the box art is superb! The main thing wrong with it is the canopy which is too small and not high enough,.... a spare or vacuformed canopy would make a huge difference, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi folk's kit arrived bit sad it wasn't the all action original box top but a later offering! Anyway inside we have a lot better kit than I was expecting heavy lines as expected but I was struck by how similar it is to Airfix's Mkii from a couple of year's back.Decal's look ok but I've got a good few spare option's and roundel's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi folk's an hour this morning and this far! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That's a great result after just one hour @stevej60 - I now give you permission to toss this model around the lounge room and mimic that lovely Merlin engine sound!! I'm not sure how this overall kit measures out accuracy wise, however it looks quite presentable and a bit of filling and re-scribing could do wonders for the overall result. I believe the kit supplied canopy is a bit on the shallow side, however this could be solved with an AM product and posing it open I suppose? Now tell me, I know you purchased this kit from Kingkit, so can you please confirm if you ordered the earlier box top and (as I see here) ended up with the later edition box? If so, that could be pretty disheartening for collectors, who may be very keen to purchase a specific box only. Anyway - I'm liking what I'm seeing, however that's a common thing with your WIP posts... Cheers... Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave,KK do make it clear in thier T&C's that boxing's may vary for me that's fine, I would if anyone were wanting a specific boxing ring them after ordering or phone your order in they're a great company to deal with and I'm sure they would help if possible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Excellent process Steve, Which version are you doing? I use Kingkit too and can recommend them, especially for old out of circulation kits. Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Morning all,she now has her top gray coat ready for the green,I need to make the decision now which marking's to use.The kit scheme means a re-spray of the undersides to black but I may have another crack at this kit later in the GB and use that scheme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Morning folk's this one's coming together found some Revell decal's for a day fighter scheme so maybe next one I'll use the night fighter box scheme. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Greg Sorry Greg missed your post,well as you can see I've picked the version,yes can't fault KK prices are reasonable never had an issue with them,I checked in last night to see what Matchbox they had and noticed a few addition's to wet the appetite,Kit's for cash have a good selection too I always come away with a handfull from his stall at the Northern show must give his mail order a go new site is great again good prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Afternoon folk's,most decal's applied after glossing not obvious from the photo is a need to re-paint the prop spinner I don't know if it was deliberate but Airfix's codes and fuselage band are more cream than sky,still look nice and went on a dream. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
