Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Thank you Carlos! I've populated the instrument panel dials. All of them were punched from Airscale's RAF Cockpit Decal set. The way this instrument panel is going to be assembled, I think I can just shoot the instruments with a gloss coat and forgo punching individual glass dials for all of the ins...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Well done aftermarket parts made of brass and resin look so impressive under a coat of primer that I feel hesitant about moving on to the actual painting. But I've forced myself to get on with it and have started to paint the cockpit parts. I'm taking this very slow and deliberately, trying to give ...

Re: ICM 1/35 CH-54A Tarhe
Not a helicopter builder but this kit by ICM caught my eye. Looks like it would make an impressive and intimidating presence when finished. I also hate then they attach the most fragile section of a part to the sprue.

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thanks guys! But not 100% complete... forgot the little tail lights!

Re: 1/48 Italeri Macci MC.205 Veltro
Great looking Veltro, John! I think the Italian fighters look really nice too. I've got the 1/32 Italeri Folgore in the queue and I hope Italeri follows up with a Veltro.

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
A coat of primer (Mr Primer Surfacer 1000) helps to tie all of the different materials (plastic, resin and metal)together and gives a better perspective of the work so far. Not everything is glued into place yet. I've kept the more complex items (throttle & landing gear quadrant, electric contro...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Thanks Kari! Yes, the details from the Laminar Flow Design sets are impressive and some parts are pushing the edge of what is practical, I think. It's almost necessary to have two full copies of the Cockpit Set because of the unavoidable loss and breakage of small parts. Luckily for me, Mathieu DID ...

Re: Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire XIVe Conversion
Back to the Spitfire XIVe! One of the reasons I put a pause on this build is that Mathieu at LFD informed me that he had updated the cowling for the XIVe conversion and was sending it to me. It was worth the short wait. https://i.postimg.cc/dVthN1wg/IMG-6008.jpg I love how Mathieu incorporates a rec...
