  1. Excellent build again Mike, I remember a red legged jg300 g-14 (?) you did a while back and i think this one is even better. And for me +1 for the hasegawa kit! Tim
  2. Great work so far. Assembled undercarriage is looking very nice indeed. Tim
  3. Great work Brad. Interesting scheme.. I wonder if it is still in service Base is fantastic. tim
  4. Superb work Rick. Nice touches on the bombs.. I gotta get my bomb building that good!
  5. Very sharp detail Laurent. So much detail to study in those pics. Thanks for sharing.
  6. Great review. Gorgeous kit.
  7. Welcome to LSM! Definitely a golden age. Tim
  8. It would be great to see a Tamiya do a griffon spit.. Mk 22/24 would be nice too! And while they're at it - P-51B/C.
  9. Thanks nmayhew and kagemusha for the info and advice. Thanks Benjamin.. That`s good to know. Glad the Hasegawa nose looks like a reasonable fit. Yeh it seems the hobbyboss spit nose could be too flat!? Hmm.. Ok. Plan A. I`ll try shortening the Tamiya cowling first. Plan B: hasegawa nose. Cheers Cees. Hopefully I can do it justice!
  10. Thanks both! brilliant -thanks for the info. I hadn't considered the Revell kit as a donor parts. I'm keen to use the Tamiya kit as the starting point. Oh will be one for the Spitfire GB here .. hopefully starting reasonably soon Tim
  11. All, any thoughts/advice on converting the Tamiya IXc to a Vc (trop)? Has anyone done this? Given the earliest actual IXc's were converted from Mk V airframes this makes logical sense however the biggest challenge in kit form would be shortening the nose. (the mk V with Merlin 45 engine had a shorter nose). Any advice on how to make this work? (and actually look correct!) Options - grafting the hobbyboss (or Hasegawa) Mk. Vb trop nose - cutting/shortening the tamiya cowling parts (and sorting out a trop filter, exhausts, 3 blade prop & spinner etc) - other?? Lots of other changes required of course.. but, to me, the complex bit would be shortening the nose and getting everything to align. Doable? Or should I pray to Tamiya for a Vc kit instead... It would be less work to convert the Hobby Boss or Hasegawa Vb kits.. but that wouldn't be the point.. cheers, Tim
  12. Excellent Rick. Epic build and well done on the 2nd place.
