Spitfire

I'll have a look at the kit parts first before deciding, though generally I tend to build OOB unless there is something drastically wrong with the kit Cheers Dennis

Still waiting for my kit from Hannants but got these direct from HGW. Cheers Dennis

Looks good, nice to have a "pathfinder" showing the way for us. Cheers Dennis

Here's another view of the wing tanks.

Thanks for that, this kit is one I have wanted for years, I even built a 1/48 scale kit of one (Classic Airframes) but was not impressed, it just has to be 1/32. Next up for me would be a Defiant (please). Cheers Dennis

Looking good, hopefully I will be building a JE*J soon, but from a PCM kit. Cheers Dennis

That looks just the job. Cheers Dennis

Looking good, the markings will really lift it. Cheers Dennis

I also use it for Colourcoats, works great Cheers Dennis

That's looking good now onto the fun parts Cheers Dennis

Sad news, RIP Dale Dennis

That's a sad sight, hope it's not as bad as it looks. Cheers Dennis

Yes I agree I would prefer to see a buttoned up air frame, I can however I do appreciate the skill and time some people put into their opened up builds, but it is not for me. Cheers Dennis

Here's the latest on the recovery from HS https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/interesting-footage-of-a-tbm-ditching-today-in-flo-t523135-s10.html Cheers Dennis

That was a an amazing feat, and very lucky that no swimmers were caught up in the incident, everyone seemed so calm, though it was probably because it happened so fast. Cheers Dennis

This is my latest victim, the PCM Hawker Tempest, it's been a bit of a struggle but it's getting there now. Cheers Dennis

This is coming along very nicely, the cockpit looks great. Cheers Dennis

Now that is major surgery, I think that I would have built something else looking at all the faults, but an interesting journey to follow. Cheers Dennis

Reminds me of my bike, went abroad working for 10 years and left the Honda covered in grease and covered in dust sheets, got back and though a quick touch up and away we would go. Mine was the SOHC CB750. The reality was a lot different and resulted in a 2 year total rebuild, here is the frame after I had stripped the bike down, you seem to have got the rust in all the right places !. It turned out well though. Cheers Dennis

Nice choice, I have a PCM Mk.IX lined up after my current builds and will probably build it as JE*J as well, strangely with my fascination with Spitfires I have never built a Mk IX. I have built I, II, V, VI, VIII, and XIV but no IX. So will have to get my finger out, I do have a Tamiya IX but the PCM version has been in the stash the longest. Cheers Dennis

I'm with you on that one Cheers Dennis

Great job, looks grand Cheers Dennis

That's a really nice build, and paint finish, I have one to build one day, hope it turns out as nice as yours. Cheers Dennis

Third time lucky worked then, good news Cheers Dennis

Beautiful work that is really neat. Cheers ennis
