TonyOD Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I was pondering somehow welding a nose and wings from another kit onto my Jug, but by that stage I think I’m in Trigger’s broom territory! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 @PhantomBigStu Welcome to the GB with the iconic Spitfire. So iconic in fact that even I, as a truck builder, built one for Spitfire GB! About your wing issue: let's call them aftermarket wings and let the building commence! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 All togethor, did do a bit of research and couldn't find any pics of a lowback RAAF XVI , could do a RNZAF one, but prefer to do a RCAF one 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Looks great but I don't know how you are going to do that prop spiral, so I'm looking forward to learning how it's done. Best of luck Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to test your spares box one day Wez and I suppose (like most of us) you’ve got a decal bank to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hi @PhantomBigStu, how's the Frankenspit doing? I'm sure we'd all like to see some more progress on it! No pressure 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Rare update as this and the p-40 are now decal ready 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 My plans to just use that decal for the spinner failed as of course the prop blades got in the way, used the decal as a guide to with a cocktail stick and repeated yellow black attempts to sort it out. Just the underside decals now to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
