OT Does a Weekender *** DNF ***

I can't wait to get started on my Eduard 1/48 Spitfire in American markings.
This cost me £7 at SMW. Wish I had bought half a dozen now that I have seen it up close.

Here is the Hyperscale review.

Box & spru shots to follow.

You jammy barsteward! That's a great price for a really nice kit.

It certainly looks like a cracking kit OT.

No progress as yet, busy weekend but hope to get cracking tonight.
For now here are the box & sprue shots.

The detail parts look very nice.

A quick look at the instructions indicate some tricky & over engineered parts IMHO. We shall see.

Slow progress on this one so far as life seems to be about decorating these days!

I have made a start on the cockpit though.

Once everything is done I will weather this and add a seat harness from masking tape.

Half the kit parts seem to be related to the pit so one it is installed things should speed up a bit. Hopefully.

Lovely cockpit painting OT.

Please tell me, though, that that's a decal for the instrument panel!

If not, kudos!

Kind of a modified Blitzbau there O-T. Go go go.

I have to say, the IP does look pretty special!

It looks a lot like the decal in the link above. Still kudos though; from the photo there was quite a lot of bold surface detail on the IP, and getting that decal to line up this well must have been a fight.

I wondered because I couldn't quite make it out on the photos at first. But, the more I look, the more I also reckon it's a decal.

Still, it's bloody good either way!

(And here's where I shamefacedly admit that I always forget to put IP decals on!!

)

It is indeed the decal. I just got lucky with the instruments lining up and Microsol helped it settle down.
Such a shame that it will lost in the Spits tiny cockpit.

I have not made any progress as I am full of cold at the moment. I just can't concentrate on anything.

Apologies guys. I am unable to do any model building at the moment due to ill health.

I aim to get myself better before the next GB in April. Once again sorry and thanks to the GB leaders for organising this.
