Redboost Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi chaps, on Saturday we had a 'plastic session' with my club fellows and the aim was to build a kit in a day. Due to various circumstances (drinks, girls etc) nobody eventually succeeded, but I was able to finish the kit on the next day, so here is the result. The total net building time was about 10 hours.

Radar Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Superb Libor, Brilliant work, especially in one day. I wish Airfix would produce that version in 1/48 so us oldies could build one! Well Done. Ian S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wilson Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Really, really good build - to do it in a bit over a day makes it all the better. Every bit as good as everything else you've posted here. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It's a really nice kit. You've done a really good job on it there. Clean the oil stains off from underneath though. It was pointed out to me when I did mine(it's on here somewhere) that they didn't leak oil from the usual Spit place under the engine. The PR.XIX had a system of vents and tubes that exited beneath the starboard wing root so that the camera lenses were kept clean. Well done.

Max Headroom Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Gorgeous build. Mine will only be a shadow of your superb effort. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Excellent work... irrespective of the timescale. Given that you only spent 10 hours on the beast, even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you Ross, having seen your work, I don't think you'll be getting your coat just yet! Thank you but considering glaciers move quicker than my build times this is still a superb build.

Don McIntyre Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Very nicely done, sir! If Airfix were to do this one in 1/48th, I'd be ever so happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre_days Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Great work! Excellent result for any timescale, just amazing for a speed build... i thought only us brits were opsessed with spits Not by any means...I'm Canadian and rather Spitfire-obsessed myself. I think it's probably tied with the Mustang as my favorite aircraft of all time, though it's hard to call and there are a few other strong candidates for that distinction.
