If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Tim's Silver Spit Blitz *Under way*
Thanks for the coments, it is coming along quickly.
So far this morning the undercarriage has been assembled and the airframe given a coat of black in preparation for the silver.
Using spray cans has been a boon to this build, speaking of which.

A couple of coats of silver paint and it's ready for Klear and decals.
Nearly there now.

That's looking like a really good finish Tim.
Rattle cans are a must for Blitzbau's in my experience.

A combination of the BTCC, Belgian GP and Sunday Lunch have delayed things a bit but most of the decals are now on.Old_Tonto wrote:It's gone very quiet!
The yellow outer rings on the fuselage roundels are out of register but I'm sure I can come up with something to solve the problem.

Re: Tim's Silver Spit Blitz **Finished**
With an hour to go the Spitfire is finished. I found some suitable roundels for the fuselage then it was just a matter of adding the canopy and exhausts. A nice kit that went together well.
To play us out of this build, a classic from Jeff Beck.

Very nice! I love that kit and I love that paint scheme - I've done it myself!
