Some good work with the details Mark, I remember the same experience with planks bending and fitting - I nearly gave up more than once - but keeping at it is the key. Read through my Greayhound build you will se what I meant.

Nah ! It's easy, OC. Did all of those in little over an hour, including painting. The way Tamiya makes these, they go together easily. And no flash to remove.
It is looking super Jack, do you super detail with washes highlighting etc when assembled? I was never that good at that part when I was younger inpatient I think I was.

Glad I'm not building it with all those additions / add - ons I would be building for ages picking out the details with my scraper and knife.

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.

Coming along beautifully OC. I just found your build thread, by the way.
I wonder if the exhausts are from Moskit. The company used to make hollowed metal exhausts just like those, for a number of different aircraft.
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.

At the time it was built early one, it was the best. Sadly, it was also the only one at the time they ship overseas easily. We and the Brits had the docks and equipment that could load and off-load bigger tanks but no place else did. The LCT's couldn't handle anything bigger.
Ah.. well, yes. We do discuss the histories, etc. also do it on the ship model logs.
Yep we like our chatter us lot do.

Wow.... 40 posts and nuthin’ is even glued yet? I think you boys are waxing a bit sentimental over this ol’ Sherman......😀😇
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.
