  1. Sutch a repetative job doing the spars but they are looking bang on the money. OC.
  2. First rate work (no pun intended) phil, you should be so pleased with how she is coming on. OC.
  3. She is looking Superb mate, sorry to hear of your little set back but glad you have it in hand - it is really turning into a head turner. OC.
  4. You have surgeons hand when it comes to model building Kevin , bet back in the days of Blue Peter bet you used to make loads of stuff same as I did. OC.
  5. Evening all home inmates, I did a bit more on the spit this eve as I was in the back yard enjoying some nice but cold sunshine from that strange thing in the sky, so first thing I ran some putty into that gap where the top engine cowl meets the forward fuselage, then it was time to construct the bottom cowl at the front, this also has a pe vent filter fitted inside (fiddly with limited acsess) after cleaning the join seams (slightly) I then glued it in place. No pics as I will wait till I have cleaned up the join seams where it meets the fuselage. OC.
  6. Hiya mate, thank you for the compliment, I'm not sure about the exhausts - guess it is quite unusaul for them to be this detailed with in a kit, in the box there is a choice of two different sets of exhausts I guess for early or late - if not a different model of Spit. OC.
  7. Nothing wrong with that lou - looks spot on from my direction dont care what you think you are doing a great job (trust me). OC.
  8. That looks really nice so much detail at this scale. OC.
  9. Getting all the essential nibbles in first - Mark is leading with his cupboard on wheels with popcorn, I'm making some hot dogs but the hob is on low - dont want the dogs getting to warm before the rest turn up. OC.
  10. It looks really good that way, I used to collect Dinky and Corgi Armour tanks and stuff when I was kid. OC.
  11. Bit more progress - the other exhaust was built and painted then glued in place, then I glued down the top cover. OC.
  12. Thats a great move with the cabin windows/frameworks they will look super scratch built. OC.
  13. Thanks Lou, I remember seeing the difference in films like Kelly's Heroes when the Sherman tried to take on a Tiger. OC.
  14. Yep its a good move by Eduard to make them hollowed out - I can imagine the effort to try to hollow them out by hand (enter cross eyed emoji) OC.
  15. Good day everyone hope all are well, I decided to do a bit more this afternoon as the weather was pants with light rain so no sitting in the back patio, so I decided to work on one of the exhaust manifolds - this is built up using four sections, after assembly I painted the insides of the exhausts flat black then I made up a bronzy type colour by mixing flat black/flat alum and red ocre, then after drying with my friend "Harold hairdryer" I glued it in place iniside the forward bulkhead, then I dry fitted the engine comp cover. OC.
  16. Excellent work Joe - really paying off all that detail work. OC.
