A WWII build ...

[smitty44]

 Oddly enought his is the first Spit I have ever built, and I do realize that I set the canopy on bckwards when I took these pictures..oops. I hope you like her!! 

 

 

 

I should have dusted her a little better, but my pics will improve with time...

Love me some Spitfire! Looks really good. Are the invasion stripes painted of decals? They settled down nicely of decals. I like that you didn't paint the crowbar red too.

[smitty44]

No red crowbar and no aerial antenna wiring - hallelujah!

As I said it was my first Spitfire, you are being serious right?

Lovely Spit Smitty !

Did you know pilot's were fined £5 if they taxied in with flaps down? Spitfire flaps were retracted after landing to avoid damaging them.

There are almost no pics of parked aircraft with flaps down. All you have to do is select flaps up, the little lever in the left hand corner

Just over the oxygen indicator.

Very nice build.

I did know this...well I knew there were orders to keep the up once on the ground. I really struggled with deciding what to do with them on my build. I generally don't care much about these kinds of accuracy issues, and I love flaps down because it adds interest. However, I love the luck of a clean Spit and there were some pin marks I didn't care to tackle on the inside surfaces. So, up won out.

OOps, well I don't have 5 pounds right now so I will just have to promise I will remember this when I get around to building another Spit. Always about learning new things though, thanks!

Smitty,

 

That's what matters, the satisfaction of having accomplished a fine build. You decide how to build it.

And it looks great.

Cheers
