Re: Daz's Last Enemy
And she's.... DONE!
Being the old-tool Spit Ia, it's a doddle to put together, although the rear portion of the wing was a bit of a sod to join to the fuselage without a decent amount of superglue.
I'll varnish and weather the model later on.

Crooked cops. Do they come any other way? If I'd been just a little dumber, I could have joined the force myself.

Re: Daz's Last Enemy **FINISHED**
Wow. Nice work. A great tribute.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
Re: Daz's Last Enemy **FINISHED**
Yep! Pretty sharp.

I could have done it as a Blitz - and it would have fitted in with both GBs!

Super job, excellent! Now the RAF have something to combat the flotilla of Luftwaffe bombers approaching fast. Scramble! Tally Ho!

Re: Daz's Last Enemy **FINISHED**
Very nice finish indeed.
So, why do you prefer this to the new tooling?

Re: Daz's Last Enemy **FINISHED**
Sorry, Steve, I forgot to reply to your comment.
My previous experiences with the new-tool Spit haven't been happy ones, with the cockpit parts usually needing a lot of faffing about in order to fit the fuselage.
The old-tool job just goes together - no fuss at all.
That being said, my Stapme Stapleton Spitfire went together absolutely fine.
