I guess I'm bashing this kit then with the guns and mods to accept them. Cool. I'm still cleaning up the fuselage exterior. Seems that are some things that would only apply the German version. So.. got to make them gone.
I have to admit.. I'm as happy as a pig in a waller. My parts that I ordered yesterday were shipped out this morning. Excellent service is wonderful after that last batch of problems and all the excuses.
Bring it on fellow basher - bring the bling.

Off to a great start, OC. Looking good.
Thanks mark, its interior green paint time next followed up with some more washes and a bit of hightlighting then some more additions to add, going to build things in stages like that - painting and weathering them as I go instead of assembling the whole sub sections and trying to paint/weather.

Thanks, Denis, I was struggling with the term, if my brain would come out of the fog, I probably have said capstan. Anyhow, I do not like the capstan around the main mast, and this model pre-dates 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. So, I am not sure if any ships were actually built like this.
I think it was put there for space reason (but agreed a very unusual arangement)

That was the word/title I was looking for. I feel most comfortable wearing the title Basher! Fits most of my skill level to a T.
A kit "Basher " defines anyone who is prepaired to do their best with a kit and try anything they come up with.
I think its a great title.

Nice start, OC. The wash makes those tanks "pop".
Thanks mate, trying to keep them natural still need to chase the interior green around then add more washes.

Done a bit more - I decided to fit some pipework - for this I used electrical fuse wire, I put a small smear of ca down then layed some wire, with a hairdryer to set It set in place - I then did the same to a run underneath.
I then painted both fuel tanks the brick Red colour - for this I used Red Ocre, after drying this I added a few coats of dark wash - very watery then dried in between each layer, the main green shade still needs to be applied.

So! - It begins, I couldn't help it "I had to",
I got the box out - checked the instructions and found the first build section (Bomb bay), so I cut away the first sections needed then put them in a tub and with the aid of washing up liquid/hot water and a tooth brush, I gave the parts a clean to remove the release agent.
Then when dry I assembled the main bomb bay floor containing the fuel tanks, and the two bulkheads, this was set aside to dry.
Here are the first two pics showing the stage so far and the instructions stage.

I thing the Spitfire Mk IX was their best looking Spitfire of all. Should be a real nice kit.
I was told by my farther they struggled to fit the beafed up engine in the same frame - they could have done with extending the frontal area.

Very nice work, bowsprit deck do you mean Forecastle deck - it meets the front of the ship near the bowsprit and can be flat from the mid ships or raised up.
