Paulster Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Goodiegoodiegoodie! Spitfire Group Build? Even I'd be up for that. Have the Tamiya Mk. IX with all the Barracuda goodies and Kagero Israeli markings. F-105G gets pushed back again.
Wingco57 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I have a feeling I saw this very model at the Heiden show last saturday. It looked really nice. The door was noticed indeed. Cees
Wingco57 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Well it's May already an no sign of the Spit II yet. Dave Parker is building a testshot But that's it. Any news at all? Cees
Wingco57 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Just noticed this: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.874010055946276.1073741856.500128453334440&type=1 Cees
Wingco57 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Nope, spotted this....somewhere else. Hope Dave post his pics here too. Cees
One-Oh-Four Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 My info has nothing to do with guessing what was/wasn't measured at a Canadian museum. My info does state emphatically that the next kit will NOT be running a DB... A BMW 801, then? Or a Junkers Jumo...
Wingco57 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Strange that no further information about it's release if forthcoming. Cees

Administrators James H Posted May 15, 2014 Administrators Posted May 15, 2014 I'm building test shot now. Well, cleaning up parts, ready to assemble. So far, so good. It seems like an early test too, certainly not release quality.
Paulster Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary GB next year! Annnnnddddd......you would be building a what?
Members Mikester Posted May 16, 2014 Members Posted May 16, 2014 Annnnnddddd......you would be building a what? Would really like to do the Revell He 111P as a KG 55 plane with the improvised night camo scheme but I'm a little nervous of how something that big would survive the move next year. 1
Administrators James H Posted May 16, 2014 Administrators Posted May 16, 2014 I sure am....well I've cleaned the parts up ready for assembly, but I need to get a few supplies in stock first.
RalphSarc Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Would really like to do the Revell He 111P as a KG 55 plane with the improvised night camo scheme but I'm a little nervous of how something that big would survive the move next year. I think I'm obsessed with night-fighters, lol!! Just did some research and love the KG55 He111P night camouflage!! I just happened to have a Revell He111P waiting in the wings!! Thanks for the idea! 1
Administrators James H Posted May 18, 2014 Administrators Posted May 18, 2014 James, What's the story on that test shot? Cees I'm building this for a book..... I'll post a finished image when this one is nailed..
Wingco57 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 It's out! Just got back from the aviation megastore and they had a nice stack of the Spit. At 24,95 euro's a bargain. Upon a swift inspection the instrument panels looks to be corrected. Personally I consider the rivets not a problem. Strangely there are some proud panels on the Wing top and underside surfaces. Have they measured P7350 by any chance? That had same repairpatches. Edgar? Cheers Cees
Administrators James H Posted June 14, 2014 Administrators Posted June 14, 2014 I have the final here. The rivets do seem to be a little less aggressive than the test shot, but still too heavy generally. An easy fix though, and it's at a very good price. I think it'll sell well. 1
Wingco57 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Think too, the price is unbeatable. I like the way the wing fits to the fuselage. A firm Joint is the result. Things to note are the missing blunt spinner and the Mk V oilcooler Intake. Wink wink nudge nudge. Cheers Cees 1
One-Oh-Four Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Hmmm, if the cockpit is corrected it's starting to sound more and more interesting!!
One-Oh-Four Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 BTW, what is needed to make it a Mk.I? I think I have seen that the kit features metal control surfaces, while the Mk. I had fabric? Anything related to the Coffman starter would have to be removed. Does the kit feature a metal or a "bakelite" seat? The prop and spinner would be good for a Mk.I I'd think.... And of course the oil cooler must be made circular, but that's a thing that should be done, no matter what. Anything else?
