Sounds like a great project ole, i'll be watching with interest! The good thing about doing something like this with a spitfire is that theres loads of pics on the web of spits being restored so there shouldnt be any problem getting images of the areas you need to fabricate . cheers tony

 

[Guest]

[Guest]

Should be very interesting! Good luck.

 

[Guest]

thnx peeps,Ian the one i seen took 3yrs to build though the detail was way over the top,and pics will be posted once the cutting starts.one question i need an answer for,can you get platic card made of the same material the models are made of?just because I am way too lazy with the change of glues lol

mobear

 

[Guest]

Save all your girls yougart pots Ole, they have very similar properties to the model and they stick with any of the cements.

There's about three thicknesses in the make-up of the pots which will come in handy for you.

If you eat those dreaded pot-noodles then you can use those too, just be a bit easy with the glue for these as they distort and warp quite easily.

Get cuttin' mate

 

[Guest]
