Spitfire

Sit it out for a while and go back to it when you are good and ready. Cheers Dennis

Now that is looking really tasty, I am always fascinated by Dioramas containing buildings or other such structures and really admire the work that goes into building them. When we see model railways on our travels it is always the countryside, buildings or other accessories that fascinate me, probably more than the trains themselves. Cheers Dennis

Like your style Peter, I have always been interested in warships but the only one I have built apart from the build it in about 20 minutes type when I was at school was an Airfix KGV somewhere back in the eighties. I enjoyed it tremendously but have never repeated it. But every now and again I will look at a model ship or build thread and be tempted. Cheers Dennis

It's that good a build that the photos above could be confused with the real thing, which is not an easy thing to accomplish, superb. Cheers Dennis

Scary stuff, luckily I live in boring England where the norm is heavy rain. Cheers Dennis

Good news, sadly we have lost both of our much loved cats, both were adopted when we lived in Australia and we brought them back to the UK, Sydney was 15 when we lost him and Max was 18, they do become so much more than pets. Cheers Dennis

Looks good to me but then again I do love the early war French camouflage, I would buy a kit of one in 1/32 scale. Cheers Dennis

Lucky man, what a great haul for a great price as well, should keep you busy for a while. Cheers Dennis

Great attention to detail there, I'm impressed Cheers Dennis

Great photo, they sure had some interesting markings. Cheers Dennis

Looks ready to roll across that desert runway, nice one. Cheers Dennis

More goodies have been arriving, I really wanted a 1/32 scale Kate but now Infinity is no more I find I cannot afford the HpH kit as it is way beyong my modelling budget limit so this arrived yesterday. Well within my budget and does not need more AM like the HpH kit and will still build up to a respectable sized model.The builds that I have seen are very positive about the kit as well. To go with my Airfix Spitfire IX this lot arrived. Now just need to finish up my current build. Cheers Dennis

Just read this from the start and what an amazing modelling masterclass. Cheers Dennis

It's always nice airbrushing Xtracolor, saves a lot of hassle getting that nice glossy finish without varnish. Cheers Dennis

Great start, nice crisp detail and that desert scheme always looks really good on a Spitfire. Cheers Dennis

I have resisting this for quite some time but after reading some splendid build threads I took the plunge. Cheers Dennis

The more room you have the more you fill it. Cheers Dennis

Great build, looks really tremendous in those late wate war markings. Cheers Dennis

Yes I had a problem with that by the cockpit, the finish was not too good either as you can see, I had to polish the wings up as they were so rough. The full tale of the build is here, from way back in 2013 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234950125-mdc-hawker-typhoon/ Cheers Dennis

They all seem to be like that one way or another, the nose on mine did not line up and one of the wings was a bit wonky as well, hot water and brute force seems to be the answer. The nose took some persuading as the top of the fuselage halves did not line up. And there was air bubbles in various places, but it all worked out in the end. Cheers Dennis

Now that is a work of art, great job. Cheers Dennis

Me neither ! Cheers Dennis

Nice one, I have the RAF version and this build thread will come in mighty handy in the future. Cheers Denis

It's modelling Jim, but not as we know it. Absolutely amazing. Cheers Dennis

Impressive Cheers Dennis
