Desert Spitty

[harv]

Ok, waiting on the 190 hgw decals, I decided another old sod build. A desert Mk IV Spit. Started this year's ago. Our old friend Deric Bradshaw had a small AM business and I got this beautiful little centerline bomb rack from him . But I screwed the pooch on drilling the mounting holes. Well I gave up on it. But I decided to take a look at it and see if I can start back on it. So it begins....harv

Like Gary said, go Harv! 

I have some tapered plastic rod you could use to fill the wrong holes and then drill the right ones. Let me know and I can drop some in the mail for you.

Right with you and these days, I like to do my builds with either no engines, or them just closed up.

Built one of those a while ago and it's a nice build with no real snags if I remember correctly, have fun.

Nice start on your Desert Spit.  With the forecasted weather, you might be in for a good spell and loads of bench time

Good point, I never thought of that. Where do you do your air brush work?

I'm pretty lucky in that my studio and hobby room are in the house and I have my paint booth in there as well. When I air brush, the paint booth is ducted to the outside through the window. When done, all comes in - takes a bit of work to set up and break down but for me, it works well and keeps peace in the house.
