Great work Theuns,
I can understand why you got an offer for this spit, it looks awesome!

I also have a RC airplanes past and at this stage I would seriously doubt to launch it to the air ... (I mean not taking the risk damaging this beauty)

Keep it comming!
Kind regards
Steven

Trying to fit this nse pan cowl was a real PITA but eventually got it wrangled to shape, I hop to have all the paint work done by this weekend if the weather holds.
I just need to make the UC doors from allu sheet than all is done ready for the azure.

Looking very nice Theuns

I did the last of the weathering on the fuse and wing bottom, if a british engine doesnt leak soot and oil, it just means that the oil is finnished
Some spitties were really heavy on oil!

The undercart geometry simply doe not allow for a gapless door no matter how I play arround with it
I also made and installed the fairings for the Hispano 20mm cannons.

Hi Theuns,

Lovely work.

I was battling with the top mattcoat but after some work I got an acceptable level of shine. Maybe a little to gloss still but I will stick to that. Also got the basic cockpit bulkheads in and painted....good old humbrol 78 and 11 used ;-)

The rear canopy is in and as soon as I get the pilot figure I can complete the cockpit.
