1/24 MK V Spitfire

[javlin]

Not alot to post but I am just about through with the pit.The throttle quad on the L/S was scratched the kit supplied was amere representation.Not much plumbing on this side of the pit.I was going to add the lines forward of the quad but hey no one would ever see it once installed.I added some more switches and the fuel control to the IP and couple placards here as well.Then the R/S got finished off with the (4)hydraulic lines to the undercarriage quad and the light bulbs along with again a few more placards here and there.I have only a couple of things more to do to the engine and this girl gets dressed. Cheers

Looking very nice indeed Kevin !

 

[Wayne Little]

Yes..indeed!

 

[javlin]

Thank You very much Terry and Wayne.I bet that I made 12 of those light bulbs to get the three that I used.I started looking at the pics and started thinking that there has to be 2-3X as much scratch or added parts than what the kit supplied.I added the seat into the fuse onto the L/S today and will doing the same with the engine.I also got the tailplanes built which includled sanding the upper fabric surface and riveting.I think it will pass. Cheers

 

[javlin]

The fuse is now buttoned up and I think this is becoming one of my better efforts in the pit .I made the stanchion for the cable assembly for the harness and I still have a bit here and there to add nothing much.I am now involved with the wings and starting to get those guys together.I have about 15-18 hrs in the pit and another 8-10 in the engine.Not awhole more scratch left except at the wheel wells.Well I hope I get a nod of approval out there for I starting to really like this and confidence is starting to emerge 8) and the 1/24 Trump P51 is next I think Cheers Kevin

This is great stuff Kevin, I've never worked in this scale and find the detail is just amazing. It looks really good mate.

[javlin]

Thks fellas this build has been fun no rush no worries

Vic as I get older I find the bigger scale easier and easier to deal with.While I like all the scales 1/32 and 1/24 are my favorites.I wear the weakest reading glasses made to aid me but the bigger scales seem to keep the fat fingers in play. Cheers

Oh yea and maybe someone might have the answer?I have an M on the camera is M=macro? I did those photos using that 3 w/no flash and 2 w/flash up pretty close for me @18" maybe?

 

[Wurger]

It is possible the M = macro. Usually the option is marked with the sign of the tulip. Also the option doesn't mean you can taka a photo with a camara touching an object. The distance between a camera and an object should be about 6 inches ( depends on a camera)

 

[Crimea_River]

Could mean "Manual".

Great work there Kevin!

 

[Airframes]

I think ir does mean 'Manual'. The macro function is normally marked with a tulip flower, as Wojtek mentioned, or the word 'Macro'.

 

[Wurger]

True.

I think you are right thier Terry.I took it out to shoot some pics in the sun light and it totally screwed with the camera I just need to find the manuel.

 

[Airframes]

If all else fails - read the manual !
Word association - a friend of mine thinks that manual labour is a flamenco guitarist !!
