An Egyptian Spit, can't wait!

Re: OT's Flying Carpet
Decals arrived today & very nice they are too.
Hopefully this one should end up looking like my 1/48 Spitfire I made a couple of years back:
Bye for now.

They are Mark 1 decals & I am very impressed - although I have not applied any yet!dwomby wrote:Sounds great. Whose decals are those, please?

I got them from Hannants:

They were £9 which is more than I would usually pay but I will use them to build 3 Spits at least.

If you need any of the RAF markings just PM me.

Lovely feel about this kit.

Re: OT's Flying Carpet
I can see I forgot something on my blitzed F.22 (but I can blame the pace of the blitz for that). Forgetting to paint back of canopy green. Oops.
Atleast I got the tricolored lights right!

Thats a bind. IK am sure you will sort it.Sir T wrote:The paint all flowed in together on mine....I now have two yellow lights and one orange!! :-(
This one is slowly coming together at work, as my lunchtime build.
I just need to mask off the main canopy & get that attached.
Get the cannons on and she is ready to paint.

Re: OT's Flying Carpet
Nice work OT. This would make a cool dogfight double with a IAF Spit!
Following a few others members builds of this kit, the fit looks an improvement on the PR.XIX kit, especially the wing/fuselage join.

Re: OT's Flying Carpet

It's very kind of you to say that but I managed to crack the bubble hood whilst masking it!Prisca wrote:That's coming along very nice. I envy your canopy masking, splendid job
Fortunately the modelling gods anticipated my 'Ham-fisted' antics & supplied a spare.
But that didn't fit so good.
This is probably down to me but a bit of PVA should sort it.
