Ours is under review next monday to see how many extra weeks we will get added ontop............I feel like a caged animal (to be fair it dont worry us to much as we have no family - friends etc - just keeping the flipping food and gas /electric meters topped up is our priority). Our hobbies help though - dont they Jack.👍 OC. -
Its got to have its normal wing tips on it yet Ken, it comes like that giving you the option as they are in the box - three types of wing tips I think. OC.

When I do the Seafire conversion out of the other kit? OC.

Or "Mind the Rotors they dont turn - but the body does"😁 OC.

Thank you Edward, I'm very happy how its coming a long - it even feels solid (in a plastic kind of solid way) OC.

More progress this evening - I glued the two wing sections to the main lower wing, then I glued the whole wing assembly to the fuselage, when set it needed just the smallest amount of filling with plastic putty and a bit of clean up. OC.

I remember some kits - old school Airfix I think, thier heli's used to have a plastic T piece bolt like thing it was supposed to be held inplace then the rotor head was supposed to glue to it allowing the rotor head to rotate. OC.

Yep good thanks, trying to stay sain during this madness we are all encased in, my last ship build was The Balck Pearl (Pirates of the Carribean) it was a plastic build but fun. OC.

I am loving what you are doing here Kevin - its looks really lifelike. OC.

Hi there (sorry to but in) long time no speak since our Greyhound days hope you keeping well. OC

Yep the join lines are really tight with regards to the tollerances, I thought the join where the wings meet the fuselage might needs some work - but straight on even with a dry fit - they fit fine no filling I dont think. OC.

Evening all, A bit more work on the Spit this eve, I painted the insides of the wheel wells then weathered them, then I dry fitted the wings to the fuselage to check the fit - Impressive. The wings are not joined together yet (top and bottoms) OC.

Dont tell Greg about it - he would have you doing all sorts to it.🙃 OC.

Evening all, Right as I said earlier - I dragged the other Spit kit out (That I had stashed in the cupboard as I messed it up) I had a look over it and think with the confidence from building this, I should be able to salvage it into a Seafire Mk3. OC.
