I bet you can't guess what I'm building....?? **DONE**

Its looking good.

The cheapness of the PM kit makes it a cheap conversion, as the floats and tail aren't bad, it's just the rest of the kit. I'm starting to miss the PM kits already, it's a shame the family did not continue with the production line.

Did you find any problems mating the PM tail to the other kit?

Regards Splash

The resin tail that I used did need some filling around the tail/fuselage join, but it got there in the end.

Painting up next...

Great work Daren mate.
The Tail part is a new resin piece that was produced when Tiger Hobbies did the limited run of this kit a few years ago. If anyone saw it there was a prototype of the model displayed at Telford a couple of years ago that had the components from Italeri, PM and New resin parts in different colours. (I know, I built and painted it). Quite a simple conversion really. Hope this helps.

My mistake

I thought you had used the PM kits tail, I really should read the threads rather than just looking at all the pretty pictures.

So PM is done? That's a shame. I really like their Luft '46 kits, simple as they may be. Great work so far, Daren. Keep at 'er!

Progress has temporarily halted over the weekend, but have no fear, I shall get back on it later!

I'm calling it done.

I've not put the serials on it yet, so that will be done later.

It's a bit rough in spots, but that's more down to my cack-handed attempts at building rather than any fault of the kit.

Missy evaluates my work:

Well done. So do you already have the MkIX floatplane built or is that still on the 'to do' list?

PS - that feline is seriously out of scale with the Spitfire

That looks grand

Nice work. You're brave leaving your handiwork next to a moggy

Thanks, chaps!

Missy is only the project manager - she doesn't play with the finished items. Thankfully!

I haven't built the Mk.IX version, but if I'd screwed up the VB, the IX would have been the other option!

Nice one Daren. I hope that it passed missy's inspection. Looks fine to me though.

All the best.
