Looks good, the kit has very nice detail in the landing gear bays, not like alot of 1/72 scale kits which have just open holes. This looks like  a very nice kit.

Have had lots of stuff going on, but have managed to finish this one

Turned out okay, I am happy with it and it looks good sitting on the shelf. Now on to the next project, not quite sure what it will be yet, but it is probably going to involve alot of work. I will try to decide what it is going to be and start it sometime this week.

Exellent Scott! Looks really good and congrats on getting it all buttoned up! All your pre-planning looks to have paid off nicely as it looks to have gone together just like a regular kit!

Hi Scott, yes the template works very well, it is so simple but does the job very well.

In between working on the decals I built the prop. The conversion supplies a new spinner and prop blades along with a neat little resin jig to set the correct pitch to the blades. There is a template included in the instructions that I fastened to a thick piece of sheet plastic with double stick tape, then did one blade at a time using a small drop of J&B Weld (a super strong epoxy) on the end of each blade, letting it set, and then doing the next one.

 

Getting closer, almost time to pick the next project!

I hadn't seen this before.  Neat project!

Thank you Greg, it is a cool project and something different, auctuall it is the first Spitfire I have built and the Tamyia kit and Fusion are both excellent to work with.

Exellent repair work, can't even tell you had any problems! Coffee always helps too I have had the same similar problem recentely as well with primer lifting, think I will change to a different brand, as apperentely the lacquer primer I am using is not "hot" enough to get a cood bite.

Excellent work No.1, it will look very different with that new nose.
