Research, research, research, then determine what fits your build, anything else is exteranious! I am not a rivet counter, and I feel sorry for those who feel that the pursuit of exact presission stop them from enjoying the fun of modeling!
With that said, Good work! Looks great!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very sharp Brooks.

 

[Wayne Little]

nicely done Aaron!

 

[A4K]

Great work Aaron!
I often use Tamiya tape for the belts myself, gives them a slight 'fabric' look.

Looking very nice Aaron.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you guys. Thank you for the tip on the tape Evan. On the next round I may order some kits. Someone said something about a Spitfire GB and I have one to do so I may order a kit for it.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Woody, I should be working on at present but the day at work has me pretty much plowed. Maybe tomorrow.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Charles. I've bee painting pieces and I have a question. While on the ground were the cowl flaps open? I have photos of Neils P-47 but never took notice or a shot of the cowl flaps while it was on the ground. Here are some shots of what's been done so far. Not much but it is progressing.

 

[Wayne Little]

any forward progress is always good!

 

[Airframes]

I agree with Wayne. Cowl flaps were normally open on the ground.

 

[brucejscott]

Looking great Aaron. I have so got to get me one of those.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you guys and thank you Terry for the info. So they'll be open.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good Brooks!

 

[woody]

Keep it coming Brooks.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice steady progress Aaron!

Got the fuselage together and WHAT A FIT!!!! I did just a little filing to true her up a bit. Will do some sanding to finish it out. I need some gold titanium for some visible stuff behind the engine so hopefully the paint I ordered a week ago will come in and I can make one run to pick it all up at one time.
