Thank you Scott!

I must say I'm tempted to begin my Spit IX too, with the two MK XVI but I'm afraid that that will make a little bit too much...

As already said, I wish to progress simultaneously with the kits. So here is the work of the day: always preparation of the inside of the cockpit parts.

Photos 1-3: Bubble canopy

Photos 4-8: the brassin set. I said préviously that one of the support of the seat was broken but repaired. It broke again but this time the carpet monster kept the broken part... I will use Evergreen to repair but later.
My first impression for brassin set is that it's a good add-on, but there are parts too tiny, really...

Photos 9-11: Malcolm Hood

Thank you! Numbering is more easy when referring to some particular photos. I think I will keep this way...

Still preparing all the parts of the interior of both Spits. Today I have prepared the ones of the "Bubble" version; hope tomorrow to have time for Malcolm  :))
Photos will follow in the forthcoming days.

Anyway, a detail but important to note: the visor!
Eduard names the parts of the visor as A14, A6 and A10. You'll never find such numbered parts in the box... In fact, you have to use clear parts numbered J11, J8 and J2.

Time to resume the situation. I have thinked about how to process during a looong time...
I've decided not to use the brasin cockpit set for any of my Spits but to use kit parts. The brasin set will be build as is, for review. The reason is quite simple: kit parts are already excellent, and brasin contains some elements that are so tiny and fragile that I'm not sur not to broke something... It's a good and valuable bonus for the kits anyway, but well, it's my choice...
So I will build the brasin after the kits will be completed.

Today, white primer was applied...

I must say I agree with your separate build of the Brassin cockpit. The plastic parts are excellent, and the Brassin one is a "stand alone" build in its own right.

Carry on, we are glad to see your builds continue!

Not too much time for modeling today (and this situation will continue for all the week, having grandchildrens at home)...

I've just used Klir for the canopy parts. As always, result is excellent!
