Yep KP as Edward said despite the pit falls of the kit you are getting there, some kits certainly test of skills and patience.

My first ever kit age about 7 (me not the kit) was a Red Arrows Gnat aircraft I only glued the wings on back to front and got the canopy glued to my finger - so I guess it happened to us all.

Evening all, I did a bit more work this evening - firstly I removed the tape and checked the seams, these needed just a bit of sanding (but no filler I dont think) this was a supprise to find two companies who manage to build kits with quite high build standards - it also makes my first observations what I first started to build this kist (in my earlier build log - Not Eduard one) as being incorect.
Anyway next off was to fit the prop cone bulkhead, then when set I had to fix one of the exhausts stcks that had broken in two, this was fixed then glued in place in the recess - same the other side, then I got the engine cover and test fitted it, quite a bit of scraping and sanding was needed to get a good fit - then this was glued down.
It needs sanding and cleaning up whne its set.
So here are a couple of pics including one of my Supermarine prod line.

OC,
She's coming along marvelously! I love all the spitfire marks, the MK1 best of all. Have you seen the Guy Marshall special about the reconstruction of a BoB MK1, it's really a great piece of work. It' on you tube, its a Channel 4 Full episodes video. Sorry I could get the link to work right, there shouldn't be any problem finding it. Sorry too, if you've already watched it.
Kurt
Thank you for your interest Kurt, and your very kind word, I havn't seen that vid but I do pay a lot of inteest in the BoB flight as I have a friend who is one of there pilots.

Dry brushed is painting with an almost dry brush. You dip your brush in the paint ,scrape most back off on the container edge, then dab it on a cloth so it is just damp without a lot of paint. You brush the part and this only deposits a small bit of paint at a time, (takes a lot of brushing) so it must be done several times to get any finish. This will color a part without gobbing a heavy layer of paint that hides fine details. I do this on something that has small detail I don't want to lose with a heavy layer of paint. Grates such as these on this model have small holes with square corners and sharp edges and lines. Paint tends to clog the small holes and round the tiny corners. I want the fine details to show. The acrylic paint is thick so I thin it to a water consistency to help keep detail.
Mark Frazier
Like I do on my plane builds in the forum - its a great way of showing raised detail also.
Still loving what you are creating Mark.

There is an old saying - "Keep calm and carry on" you are a fitting example of that saying phil, your work is just pure lovely to watch unfold.

Thanks Joe, yep it was my original one that I had scrapped due to me messing the engine up, but I was able to rescue it and build it as Seafire.
