Looking good
looks great Peter, my Airix kit didnt have any wingtip lights and just plain covers for the landing lights, might have to try and build something to jazz 'em up a bit
This is some damn fine work Pete, your raising the challenge levels, like Karl, my Spit has nothing in the way of landing or nav lights............I guess that means more work for me.
looking good mate....not sure if you used enough masking tape though...... just yankin' your chain..
Lookin real good so far Peter... Question: the black splatter from ur airbrush, why is it like that??? Would think u would try to avoid that kind of mess so it doesnt affect the camo thats gonna go over it......
Nice work there Peter. A couple of things to check from your references before you go any further though.
In the pics, it looks like the inside of the undercarriage doors are painted in the underside colour (Sky); these were normally painted in 'Aluminium' on Hawker aircraft, a semi-matt silver coating, as was the inside of the gear bay. But, there could be exceptions of course.
The other item is the hatch on the starboard side. The rectangular hatch to the rear of the cockpit, the rearmost one in the fabric-covered area, was added to later production aircraft following the introduction of extra equipment fittings. I'd need to do some digging, but I don't think it appeared until around November 1940, and was, of course, on all subsequent Marks from the MkII onwards. A quick check of reference pics might tell you if it was there, but there's a good chance it's on the kit parts due to the main mould being used for various kit versions.
