Hi Andrew , many thanks , waiting for the next lot of parts, after I pick up tomorrow issue 23 .

Now I am waiting two weeks for each issue to arrive pain but worth the wait for issue 23, now the big parts are arriving, only three screws putting the port wing framing in place, I put some rapping to protect the paint of underneath the centre section , is metal, going to be a heavy plane when finished.

Next week be the spar section of the wing .



Wont look like a spitfire till issue 35 when the nose gest screwed in place, Tony from sunny down under

Hi Tony,
mainly aircraft, 1:48 normally but recently some 1:32. Have been known to build a vehicle or boat/ship, but aircraft mainly. Have done a couple of Tamiya Spitfires, in 1:48 and 1:32, one of my favourite aircraft. Currently on Italeri's 1:32 Tornado.
Live in West Wales

Hi Alun, I will search your projects , I be asking my sister too send me a pic of a 24th scale spitfire I built from an Airfix kit when I was a teenager , have a lot of planes to shoose from now, I had a 48th scale B17 and my pride and joy was a 32 scale B52 she was huge every think worked . I picked up issue 24 parts the two struts for the port wing , next weeks part will be the starboard wing frame, sadly fortnightly now .Tony

Thanks Gerry, posting pics of latest update on the spitfire.Tony

It have being nearly 8 weeks since I last posted any pics thanks to Chris letting everyone know why , don't ever want to go through that ever again so ill have to take it easy for some time, I started work on clearing the backlog of 10 mags of parts was a big marathon indeed,, back to fortnightly mags.

Next lot of parts be to with the oil intake filters put together the air intake filters, the landing gear was a big challenge, two sets of springs making sure I didn't lose them I can't wait to fit the geared motors to the landing gear will keep the landing gear in place.

.Soon I be able to screw the nose and cockpit in place next after that be the main circuit box to fit behind the cockpit, can't wait, hopefully finish the model expensive exercise.

I may have to use some white glue to glue the wheel covers in place keeps coming off, nothing said about gluing them in
