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.

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.

Some great research and a great start looking forward to seeing and reading more. OC.

Evening all, So as I said - I have put Mossie away in a box and decided to start this, first off I looked over the spit-structions page one called for two sub assemblies that are lower hull wall sections that have a few fittings attached to them - lever's, covers and bottles, these were glued done then put aside, also I cut away the two fuselage sides - these needed the normal light tidy up and a pip cutting away, there was a few moulding holes that I filled with plastic putty, this was then put aside to set. So I have made a start - its a very very nice kit very good accuracy and quality the dry fit join of the fuselages is excellent. Sorry for the last pic - didn't know it was oof till after I took it. OC.

Love that cockpit. OC. -
Another excellent build - there was so much activity with B17's over this side of the pond during the war. OC.

More than welcome. OC.

I might start this later today, as I have reached a stall with Mossie due to needing to Rattle can but I will wait till the risk of spray fumes aggravating the admiral. So I thought as Acrylic bottle paints give off zero fumes, I should be able to start building this and plan to get to the Rattle can stage for the frame sprays (with any luck things might have settled down in a few months time). OC.

Yep, same as myself something about Tamiya kits made you think you had a kit a great quality - deffo the best "go to" kits. OC.

Loving those pictures - takes me right back there have been some stunning 1/35 Armour kits created over time, always fancied doing the Accurate Armour resin kits but so expensive but the detail in them. OC.

Look after yourself. OC. -
Lovely work with the close up details and shading I know what you mean with the camera showing up every detail - makes us all feel we need to detail at a more zoomed in level. OC.
-
Excellent work looking so realistic. OC.
