Spitfire

Too big for me, I could not find anywhere to keep it in one piece, plus it is slightly over my £100 limit for kit purchases, I did get a Tamiya Mosquito for exactly £100 at a show but I think that it was a one off as I have not seen it anywhere near that since. I might think about breaking it for an IM 1/32 Defiant, Fulmar, Skua, Battle or a Barracuda but not by much. Cheers Dennis

Great photos of some great builds, thank you for taking the time to post them. Cheers Dennis

That looks good, it reminds me that I must get back to my PCM Fabric wing version which is in the paint shop, and I have a few FLY kits awaiting my attention as well. Cheers Dennis

Superb build, I must build another one of those, for some reason I find it a very attractive subject. Cheers Dennis

Definately the way to go, walk away for a while and start a mojo restorer' it was definately called for and looks great. Cheers Dennis

It it comes off it will be great that all that research and developement will not have gone to waste and the kit will see the light of day. Cheers Dennis

Looks good for an old un, fine job on the NMF, not too shiny, nice work. Cheers Dennis

That looks rather nice, it's always a relief for me when I'm at this stage and can close up the fuselage. Cheers Dennis

Hopefully with the talk of further versions we could get something Seafire ish, a long neglected offshoot. Cheers Dennis

Now that has got my attention, the new (2014) Revell I/II with help from Barracuda turned out pleasingly well but a WNW type quality Mk. I should smash it out of the park, I'm in. Cheers Dennis

This is absolutely superb work Cheers Dennis

Looking good, I like the idea of re finishing models, after you have spent a lot of time on the build and interiors it is definately worth doing. Cheers Dennis

Be careful airbrushing the white first, I did it on my P-39 and it peeped out of the edge, basically I had a blue and white sandwich with the white showing through, now I always make sure that I paint the blue first, mask it off and then paint the white. Cheers Dennis

Depends if you want to save the panel or just make a hole with the panel itself not being used. If the panel is not being used I drill a series of holes (small) then use a scalpel to join up the dots and clean the edges, then files to get the edges smooth. Or if the panel is required I use my bare metal foil scriber to cut it out using Dymo tape as a guide, this is done with a series of light strokes rather than digging deep at the start. Cheers Dennis

That looks great, very neat work. Cheers Dennis

Should look good, I remember doing that scheme on an old Revell kit a long time ago. Cheers Dennis

Looking good, I really prefer the early war colours and markings. Cheers Dennis

As a Typhoon and Tempest fan I will be watching this one with interest, the Tempest II is outside my chosen WWII era so I cannot justify the expense of the Hi Tech version, but if they ever make a non Hi Tech version I would be all over it. Cheers Dennis

Good news about the Aires cockpit as I also have one. Cheers Denis

That looks really good, but then again Ducati's do look like works of art like most Italian bikes, my favourite is the MV F4. Cheers Dennis

It's great news for Lufwaffe fans and the detail looks fantastic. Cheers Dennis

That is a huge blow, I really do not know how I would cope with that, you have my deepest condolences and best wishes Dennis

Sad story (horrific really) but a great build Cheers Dennis

Wow that made me really jealous as due to Covid I have missed out on Telford for the first time since the 90's, we even used to fly back to the UK from Thailand just to attend the show. Thank you all for the photos and taking the time to post them. Cheers Dennis

This should be educational and as I have one in the stash a good guide. Cheers Dennis
