Speckled Jim Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Howdy, Its time I start doing something about here and stop looking at the pretty pictures. I will be building a Mk. II Spitfire from the Airfix Mk. I (I couldnt wait for the new release!) and the 3D kits Mk. II parts. So without further a-do's the obligatory box shots and spue shots, I might sit her and a Hurricane in a Hangar scene with my current PA474 project for the Lancaster GB (Which reminds me time to get back to work on that) which would be an intresting twist on the BBMF trio display. Or I may have her free sitting either way she's going to be polished up like she's factory fresh.... man I love the smell of Pine cones and paint that comes off the Hangar dollies! so there wont be much excitement from me... well not until I get to Project No. 2.... and a special pilot. *edit* Can anyone tell me whats the current configuration of the radio wires on this specific spitfire?

rowmk9 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 coming together well. Despite it's detractors, I like this kit, it's a decent leap forward over the previous airfix kit despite a few dodgy bits. It also looks good built up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanicity Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hey James, some nice progress there. As far as I can see, P7350 carries neither a wire from the aerial mast to the tail fin, nor wires from the rear fuselage to the tail: so you won't have to worry about any aerials!
