dr_gn Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Very nice job - nothing like a Spitfire in Earth/Green camo, and this one looks great. I like the story behind it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Good luck with that...set aside about 6 months and stock up on sandaper and patience Rest assured I'll be searching out your WiP thread for hints and tips You okay for an early Merlin in 1/72nd Col??? The one in the Aries set looks good enough but dare say we'll find out once the tinkering starts Lovely Col. I like the stand too. Cheers but still think I can come up with something 'nicer' if that makes sense? My grandfather made a brass Spitfire model mounted on a cloud-shaped piece of Perspex (allegedly from a German bomber) attached to a section of old wooden propeller blade so I'm going to try something similar as a further tribute to him. Not sure I want to know where he found a lump of brass big enough to fashion an 8" span Spitfire from in 1939 He also made a Blenheim in a similar style as well as an ashtray from a piece of brass sheet supported by three spent .303 rounds. Guess they were a bit bored until things kicked off back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalbert Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Lovely, it really is. As I said before, it is great to see a 602 machine being modelled and wish there were more (not that I can say anything, a lot of my stash is for 602 aircraft which I haven't built yet...).

Col. Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 14 hours ago, SA80A2AR said: how do you make the spinning prop?? ive always wanted to do one It started as a disc of clear plastic cut from an old CD case, carefully drilled a hole in the center to accept a small bolt that served to mount it in a Dremell-type rotary tool for shaping and polishing with Micromesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
