Yep certainly was, I used to work looking after the grounds for someone with more money than sense - he brought a railroad carriage to do up (me do up) over a period of hot weeks in the summer I worked on it. oc. -
Great subject Andy, I once painted (by hand) a full size passenger sleeper carriage including brushing on Bituminous paint using a broom on the roof. OC.

That engine looks super. OC. -
Thanks EG, I just use a wide brush and make sure its almost dry like a powder brush, then just light brushes over the details keeping an eye on how its building up, then seal in with brushed on clear top coat. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis, I'm very impressed with the quality and accuracy of the moldings. OC.

Hi all, Another good couple of hours, I touched up the green then picked out the Black fittings, then a few items in flat Alum, then when dry (with hairdryer) I then ran a pencil to create some shading, next using white I I did some highlighting then I dulled everything with some flat coat. Next will be to build the seat. OC.

The FW-190 was the reason the Spit got a new engine in the IX model so it could take on the FW as earlier models spits were out paced by the german. OC.

In deed it is mate, my dad was there between 43 and early 44, he then was moved to Norfolk to work on bombers and stayed into the Fifties where he worked on the first jet engines and also did some work in Oz doing diss-assembly of fighters to be crated up and returned back to the UK. OC.

Superb - wish you had or will do a build log on one. OC.

Good day all, I thought I would give a bit of back ground info on the reason for me building this - its about my late farther again, as well as his service on bombers he also worked on different versions of Spitfires and Hurricanes, he actually started on these before moving to heavier aircraft a year or so later. So - he was based at a RAF base called West Malling (famous for its Battle of Britain use) he was a Airframes and Engines fitter and did various jobs on both Spits and Hurricanes. This is again a build in his memory. OC.

She will be a superb model denis looking forward to more. OC.

Hi all hope everyone is ok, more work today - I continued with the cockpit sections, next off was the framing and a sub frame attached to it, very precise placement was required but they fell in to place well, I also drilled out a few holes in the framing and attached one part of the PE included in the kit. Oh - I also sanded down the areas in the fuselage side where I had filled some of the injection pin marks. OC.

Thank you Martyn, same with you and yours mate. OC.
