stevej60 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Morning folk's,I've been itching to get back into a more modern kit after well over a year building mainly old 1/72 subjects.as some may know decal issues have for now put pay to my Esci Fury so as I was ordering a kit for the Spitfire STGB I grabbed this for just over a tenner.It's not perfect I believe but horrible sprue gates aside its beautifully molded and a dry run of the main parts show no issues.I'm going to finish my 1/72 entries first which are all in the final stages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I looks a nice kit from where I’m sitting. Other than your decal issue your going great guns on your kits Steve, it’s great to see! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Afternoon folk's,put the oldies aside for a day or two to start this one,brushed the base colours on then a dry brush on the detail and a wash dropped into the seat recesses,masking tape belts and a busy enough cockpit for me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Morning folk's.I have to take my hat off to Trumpeter as the fit is flawless minimal clean up and no filler,a dry run of the wing section shows no issues so once the tape comes off I'll glue it in place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Alan,it's more down to building a half dozen kits at once it seems as if every five minutes there's an update! Even I get sick of seeing me on here at times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Evening all,here's the first weeks progress,good job I was following a great thread here on the Fury as Trumpeter would have you fit the u/c doors open where photo's show only the ones you see open when the u/c is lowered.On that subject to do this a lot of cutting,filling and sanding is needed to get the main doors fitted they were not great at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
