........erg!......

Oh Oh! Looks like Andy's brain-dead because of Asphyxia and its all your fault Terry!

 

[Crimea_River]

I was brain-dead before I tried this!

Oh well, shouldn't work for kids, shouldn't work for me.

 

[Airframes]

Ok, Ok, you can take a breath now! Not doing the Spit 22, but I am doing the Tornado - see new thread elsewhere.

I have a hard enough time with one guys. Two and I would just explode.

 

[Crimea_River]

Colour is returning to my face.

No exploding Aaron. After GB12, I have decided to pace my heart with just one entry, as in GB13.
With one it can be put aside and details can be taken at a more moderate pace.....
I'm enjoying the build more Not doing FOUR again.................. I think I did explode.

I have a hard enough time with one guys. Two and I would just explode.

Only one Aaron, I now have 5 actively going. P-40, P-47, F-94, F-102, and now F-16. And might still start a Spit if I can decide which one to do.

I think I'm the one who might explode

 

[Wayne Little]

Well...I think I have settled on Tamiya's Mk.VIII in the markings of Bobby Gibbs Shark Mouth Spitty...bout time I did one of my Aussie Aces Aircraft!

That is true!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Up and running soon....

 

[Airframes]

Is it started/finished yet ?! Looking forward to your first Spit Wayne, and about time too!

 

[A4K]

Good stuff Wayne!

Latest considerations here... Comparison build of Airfix and Jay's (ex-Ventura) 1:72 Spit PR.XIX, Zvezda Mi-24V 'Hind E' (if I can confirm the -P is still in active service).

 

[A4K]

This is my earlier progress on the Jay's (ex-Ventura) Spit PR.XIX. All parts off sprues, and fueslage and wings shown here with thick mould veins removed and in process of smoothing and thinning. Would this qualify for a Spitty GB entry?

 

[Wurger]

Holy crap....

 

[Crimea_River]

WTF?!

 

[A4K]

New Zealand injection moulded quality my friend!

Despite the brutal look of the mouldings, the exterior is much better; the recessed panel lines some of the finest I've ever seen...

 

[Wurger]

It's looking like a pancake rather.

 

[A4K]

Here's the rest of the kit. Though obviously not to today's 'Tamigawa' standard, this was the only PR.XIX available for a long time, I think a conversion of the old Airfix/ Heller Spitfire Mk.I (judging by the instrument panel and wing root curve)
Still quite good for a low budget 'cottage industry' effort I think... and I have their Mk.VIII too, also the first of it's kind.
