[Ralph Haus]

Cockpits, certainly one of my favorite stages of a build, and you have done yours justice. Always a shame though, so much covered up. But with these Spit kits, and the open option, thankfully lets more of the talents show!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice cockpit Steph and those seat belts look so real.

 

[Wayne Little]

Hello,

Cockpit in the fuselage


It's from now on that the bulk of the work begins (and probably some problems too): wings and fuselage assembly, some modification on the wings, work on the nose and engine hood...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looking good Steph.

The wing to fuselage joint is the trickiest but as bad as it looks on dry fitting it does come together with some TLC.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

 

[le_steph40]

hello,

First work on the wings, Hasegawa parts added


Despite it's an early Spitfire IX (F.IX) with merlin 63 engine, my project had the narrow cannon blisters cause it was a Castle Bromwich manufactured aircraft. CBAF equiped their Spitfire IXs with the narrow cannon blister from circa April 1943. My project MA568 was manufactured in June 1943.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That is some good work Steph.

 

[Airframes]

Neatly done Steph.
