Woodshedwings Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Just finished this after many months. Added lots of scratch in the cockpit. Re-modelled the seat cushion, added armor plate from plasticard, used the Barracuda cockpit upgrade and added belts from lead sheet and buckles from the spares box. I removed the crowbar from the kit door and added the release mechanism. Exterior wise I used Barracuda wheels, radiator and oil cooler, and ailerons. I modified the antenna mast and had to scratch build a new pitot tube after knocking off the original and have it vapourise on contact with the floor. To get the hood to sit properly, I deepened the canopy rails and glued thin strips of plasticard to the underside of the hood. I was then able to clip the hood in place. 4

Carvair Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 That is a very nice build, i love the cockpit for as i can see those details. It looks right, also nice to see is that a lot of those Revell Spits pop up as a complete build.. Cheers, Jan 1
Woodshedwings Posted November 14, 2016 Author Posted November 14, 2016 I did start a build log but got bogged down with other stuff. So decided to just concentrate on getting it done.
Spitfire Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Nice work, those Revell kits do seem to scrub up well. Cheers Dennis 1
Wingco57 Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 I like the very nicely worn paint at the root. Great model. 1
