Learstang Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yes, Chris. My other PR.IV is also the Sword kit. Just have to get the fuselage halves together (everything's done inside), then go from there. Best Regards, Jason 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.au Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Yet another great result Chris. I missed the end of the WIP (will go back and check it out) but very happy to see this upon my return. A thoroughly fitting tribute to Alastair Mackintosh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Jason Lovely good luck with your build Jason, a quick heads up, I glued the fuselage together and glued a spacer in the top front inside nose allowing the exhausts to be fitted at the end. 7 hours ago, Doccur said: What a stunner, I am actually involved in the restoration in a small way, so would love to build my own aa810 in a larger scale!

spitfire Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've just stumbled across this as I was reading about the restoration, and amassing what information I could find, and what an amazingly good build you have created, I would have put it at least as 1/48 scale. Superb Cheers Dennis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I can't believe I missed this RFI when it first appeared. So, please accept my belated congrats on making such a fine representation of the recon Spitfire. And the finish is even more impressive that is was done with hairy sticks. The photos do reveal the post shading you have done. Such a nice Spitfire. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
