Thank you kindly ziggy, its inside a storage box at the moment waiting on some time for me to carry on rattle can spraying, it was getting on the admirals chest (not good) due to the fumes, I will crack on with it when its right to do so. Stay in good health and yours mate. OC. -
Very very nice - nothing wrong with that I would be really chuffed and happy like a happy dancing little Pirate. OC.

I will check out your Alert - should have done so earlier my appolgies. OC.

I have found your build at last mate, love the framework and the detail going into lining and keeping the frames lined up - lovely work. Reminds me of my first wood kit when I was working on the frames I wanted to over engineer everything to get a strong frame. OC.
-
Ta matem had assumed from the pics posted - someone was considering building one, never seen a kit but have seen the actual plane up close at airshows in the very very distant past. OC.
-
Really really nice Jack well done finishing it, I have already put my hammock up in the garden waiting for your next one - in fact I like it already. OC.
-
That would look really nice with invasion stripes. OC.
-
I thought about building it with everything flush but thought it would be more interesting with things drooped. This pic off the net shows a powerd down spit with stabs drooped and some movement of the rudder. OC.
-
I am doing mine drooped stabs slight rudder turn and level ailerons with the flaps in there locked up position (these are molded in with the lower wings) OC.

Just a bit of builder artistic license denis - think it looks better that way. OC.
-
Gonna be a great kit. OC.

Got my seat ready - this will be good so great to have a fellow spit build on the forum (your F18 looks Superb) OC. -
They do a kit of that not sure what scale though - memory escapes me. OC.

B-25J Mitchell by Tom E - Revell - 1:48 Scale

As denis said - very nice work - I love the shading in the fuselage. OC. -
Small world Jack/Ken. OC.
-
Later today (yep I know where does the time go) I will check the join where the Stabs meet the fuselage and fill if needed, then I think it will be wing tip and Aileron fitting time, I will probably keep the Ailerons level as I dont think they are gravity enduced so wont droop on power down. OC.

One of mine was "A bridge too far" after watching the film as a teenager I went out and brought the Airfix Dio kit of the same thing - soldiers and Tanks and the bridge all in 1/72. OC.
-
Those will be cool. OC.
-
Thank you Ken. OC.
-
Evening all hope all are well and not going too nuts yet, I spent another hour or so on the Spit, I decided to make the stab frames / stabs and rudder, quite straight forward with minumum fuss, I decided to droop the stabs and give the ruidder a bit of angle. OC.
-
No thats where the Bow goes with the Arrows 😉 But thank you for the compliment. OC.
-
Yep - but deffo a brll kit. OC.
