Davek72 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I cannot ever recall having built a Spit....in this forum that statement may be akin to admitting something really really bad. I am sure I did 40 years ago but somehow I can't remember. That said I seem to have 4 kits in the stash so I am going to try and build at least one if not more for this GB. First up the Airfix Mk.i tool from a few years ago. Not sure which scheme I will go for probably the No.602 Squadron scheme from the box art. Thanks for looking.

Davek72 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Starting with the cockpit....where else. A bit of paint. It always looks worse when you blow up the pictures doesn’t it. The carpet monster took the top of the control stick between the first and second picture so I had scratch build. Cheers for looking.

Davek72 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 All the parts of the cockpit came together nicely. And now with the pilot....yes I have decided to try figure painting as part of this project 😁 Cheers Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 You're moving along nicely there Dave... I don't think I'll be matching that pace when I start mine 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Lovely cockpit, lovely start, good luck with the figure painting, that’s a different art on its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davek72 Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 The kits really has come together very easily. The only issue to deal with will be the usual seam issues on the cowl. Cheers Dave 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davek72 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Where has the time gone? I have managed to do some modelling these last couple of weeks but not much posting. This is where I got to on the pilot. Apologies for no more build photos but this is the finished article. Had a few hiccups on the way but I am moderately pleased. Thanks for looking.
