Sunny Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Hi Everyone, I am building a Eduard Spitfire Viii 1/48th in as much detail as possible. I got alot of good feedback on my engine so will try and do an upto date build log. I am a beginner and have not built models for over 25 years so any help or advice is much appreciated. PART 1: Eduard surface detail kit and Gun bay kit. This is the first time I am using a surface detail kit. Below are some photos of the swiss cheese fuselage ready for the PE. I have attached a photo of of the instruction but does any one know if i am doing this right? Do you know if the visible surface parts are meant to lay flat, or kept open (as if the cap itself is open). The parts that you glue on the inside seem to have alot of detail to them too? <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/28ZVhSG" data-context="false" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/28ZVhSG"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Edited December 2, 2019 by Sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawzer Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I *think* that's right. Guess part 26 is detailed (or in fact even exists) in case you wanted to leave the cover off. Template "C" - does the size of the whole correspond to the diameter of part 25? Looking the the rest of the instructions (I'm assuming it's 48766?) then it would seem you are indeed correct.......

Sunny Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 update to this. I have nearly finished in the insides of the cabin. as you can see I have also made the Spitfire Radio Compartment (eduard 648120). I tried some weathering but not sure i like to look. Any recomendations on the colour of wash to use for green? Ofcourse i still need to paint the other inner side! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
