Looks good. Not likely that that particular Spitfire had the flare cartridge rack on the front of the seat though.

the plane I've had parked all this time, sorry has not been answered before, I tell you what happens, in Eduard's instructions, placed that the flare rack was optional to place it, at the time of mounting the seat helps to make it everything centered and squared well, so for that reason it is mounted, the explanation is simple, right? ...

thanks boyz, to all people...

You should do more 1/48 Sergio with what you do in 1/72 just gets amplified in 1/48

my problem is the space to keep them, in my house when living in the countryside there is a destitute amount of dust and if I do not keep them they spoil quickly.
also that 1/48 consumes a lot of time the painting process !!! ... hahahaha

Following the work of the plane...
the parts that make up the landing gear well, the first photo of the assembly without glue and the next ones already assembled and glued together.

this last picture is what I'm doing now, the ailerons, the engine hood and the exhaust is still all to paste

thk for commenting

I have been doing many things on the plane but little time for the internet, although from today I will have more time to relapse of my elbow injury, safety of work next to the medical court of the Spanish health services have ruled that or I take the loss and I recover the arm 100% or force the company to fire me, so the company forced me to take sick leave.

good after the bad news, I put what I've been doing this time offline.

These are the only assembly or assembly failures I've encountered so far

Now my painting dilemma, the middle stone of the raf, I made this small sample of the color paints the three marks that I have so you can tell me what you think is the most successful

This is looking real nice so far.

 

[fubar57]

On my monitor I'd say the Gunze looks the closest
