Strolling along.. Pit tub is painted. (Well almost). Not getting distracted with adding too much detail. Just some Airscale placards and gauges.

I flattened the rear of the IP with green card, added the instrument housings and wiring. This will be visible from the outside.

Hi Ralph,

 

Not sure what I'll mount it on. Maybe the Tamiya Spitfire mount, but that may be too flimsy. 

 

@Cees: The thing is: there is no temptation to add details, since they don't exist yet. Yesterday I was in the hobby store and almost bought HGW harnesses. Almost...

 

Here's some progress on the pit.

Jeroen,

Before closing everything up you must have figured it out how to mount it. The

Point of fixation must be sturdy enough to take the weight. Even though it is not

that heavy.

Well. I'm thinking of using one of those 3 point stands that lets you pose the plane.

The model sits on the points and does not need construction. Anyhow.... The fuse is glued now :)

 

@James: sure! Knock yourself out :)

Hi Guys!

Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's where I'm at.

First layer of gloss black. Different shades of Alclad. RLM81 and RLM82 to the tail.

Much more shading to do and I'm going to weather the Sh*t out of it.
