Spitfire

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

Nice one, got one of those to build myself so will be paying attention. Cheers Dennis

Yes it does seem to be quite common for us more mature people to injure ourselves in the case of falls, I'm glad the injury was not worse and I hope a full recovery awaits you both. Cheers Dennis

Now that really is a weird looking tank. Cheers Dennis

Impressive. Cheers Dennis

They look great, they should really add to the finished article. Cheers Dennis

Good news for a change, hopefully a speedy recovery. Cheers Dennis

I have always known them as swan necks, mainly used for plumbing. Cheers Dennis

Terrible news Dennis

Some great builds there, looks like a great day, thanks for taking the time to post the photos. Cheers Dennis

Off on another PCM adventure, Macchi C.200 Saetta, early days. Cheers Dennis

That looks great, the fading and weathering look just right. Cheers Dennis

Great photos, that silver seat is a bit scary, but the Buffalo's paintwork seems to be in amazingly good condition. Cheers Dennis
