Sofia is going to school today so after almost six weeks of her winter break/ self isolation story I can finally exhale and focus on the hobby. I will try to polish it, perhaps to find a way how to get replacement directly from Trumpeter. I’m really tired and grumpy right now. One of those days. Here is the email to get the part. joanna@trumpeter-china.com 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 There’s not much of a damage on it, it’s just the tricky placement:) I’m really close to wrapping this up, literally just some detailing and final weathering. Might cannibalize another kit. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Found another started Brit fighter in the stash. The plan was to do it as a PRXIX. Found one issue I'll need to sort out. The tail wheel bay is missing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Nice work on that Hurri, Martin. I thought the IIC had 4 20mm guns? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 @Martinnfb They will respond and the replacement service was quite fast in my experience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 I tried to polish the canopy, that’s a no go. Looks good from like ten feet….”Ten feet kit”. Lol Anyway, this thing is huge and I won’t be able to get away with it. Hopefully Trumpeter will respond once the holiday’s over. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Back in Black! 🎸 All primed and ready for paint. Mr Surfacer 1500 with Mr Levelling, always gives a good result and hard as nails. Going to paint the rotors first as I'm waiting for a new bottle of khaki drab, old one had dried up. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Working on something a little different. A Dragon 1/6 scale German bicycle. A quick build, I'm almost ready for paint. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 First tree done. Needs a little bit of clean up but WOW. Totally transforms the diorama. Cannot wait to get the other two trees done now. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I fixed the tail wheel on the Spitfire. I cut the opening a bit bigger. Then I grafted in a resin bit from an Alleycat PRXI conversion set I have. It's meant for the Tamiya Spitfire kits but the fit was close enough to make it work. After some filling and sanding. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Carl, is this clear the SOD or just the stash is getting thin………the second option I know is a misnomer………if I was to do a Spit in 32nd what would recommend….. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, I'm just taking out random kits in the stash and working on them. Whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. I am leaning towards trying to finish at least a couple of the started kits that have been lingering around. If you're going to do just one Spitfire in 1/32, my vote is for any of the Tamiya ones. I've built 9 or 10 so far and they have great to put together. There are a couple small niggles- the wing leading edge inserts and the cowl panels can be fiddly. They're my stress relief builds when I need one. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
