I think I'll buy this kit just for the pilot figure and his seat straps...!

Thank you all that you like it!

Sadly the otherwise great pilot of the kit has the typical toilet habit of the figures of the1970s: 2 hands on 2 legs and pressing!😑 So i cut him in pieces to get a vivid move and opened the mouth for a smile🙂

BTW the Kit is on sale since November, in Germany nearly sold out. A second batch is under way as TE said...

Cheers,

Tom

Fantastic. Love the animated pilot figure, really adds to the 'feel' of your build; especially in that second picture. It looks like one helluva kit; I'm going to have to get (at least) one! Was it a fun, hassle free build (it certainly looks that way)?

Hello Andrew,

yes it was big, short 34 hrs fun despite riveting, pilot changes and some extra detailing. Best fitting kit i ever had...

Cheers,

Tom

Did the Braun 1000 watt help the paint  dry quicker? 😉 I've heard that many people nick the wife's hairdryer as part of the painting process?!!

Hello Martin,

i use the Föhn only to drive the props, only cold and low power, not to melt or blow them away!:rolleyes:

 

Cheers,

Tom

Thank you, mates, that you like the little Spit, this is my first 48er since my YF-16 Monogram 1976 (i presume)!

Superb rendition of this new kit Tom!

Thank you, Steve!

My first 48er since the 70ties!

I saw Christopher Nolans Dunkirk with the voice of Sir Michael Caine and rememberd him starring in Battle of Britain (Luftschlacht um England, was the german cinema title) i saw as boy. Since then i am fan, so i could not resist...

 

Cheers,

Tom
