Spitfire XIV (Fujimi 1/72)
« on: September 04, 2017, 09:08:34 AM »
A new project that I'm starting: the Fulimi 1/72 Spitfire XIV "Belgian escadrille".
I will use Syhart decals to build a camoflaged aircraft of the 350 Sqn

First step is to fill some panels not present on the Spit XIV.
First time I used the Perfect Plastic Putty: excellent!

Canopy maked. Not really easy, eyes tired actually and the canopy is not perfect; it was difficult to see the difference between the metal parts and the glass ones...

Time to resume the work...

Primer for the interior done. As you can see I will use the Yahu's instrument panel

Bock with that Spitfire XIV, and some problems that need to be fixed...
Engine cover doesn't fit correctly and half parts don't fit together perfectly...
I've just added in the cockpit PE seatbelt from Eduard and Yahu instrument panel

This two details are far enough for interior. Sorry to hear about cowling problem, it look like many Spitfire kit can suffer from that
