discussion Nick's Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk XIV.

Made a little progress on some of the smaller and internal parts. Just about ready to start getting the airframe together. All pretty smooth so far:

Thanks for looking in.....

Cockpit looks great. You may have seen that I used the pilot in my Mk XVIII so it's nice to see how good it can look empty! Great work.

Moved things forward a little bit on this one. I used a couple of bits of runner to try and push out the edges of the panel in front of the cockpit so it fits a bit better....



Then got the lower wing fitted...



After that was nicely cemented I got the top wing halves in place. Bit of remedial work to do before adding anything else....



Thanks as always for looking in.

Well Guys, apologies again for the lack of updates. I have a number of excuses prepared, ranging from going back to work for a couple of days a week through the summer, planning a Euro road-trip and my poor old Mum falling over and breaking her arm.

I have been making a bit of progress however:

Got the bulk of construction done and then went through a few rounds of Mr Surfacer 500 to clean up various areas......



Finally ready for paint.....



All primed up......





And finally on Monday while the insulation in my shed did a lovely job of keeping it cool, I got a coat of Medium Sea Grey on the underside.......



Needless to say I will not be making the deadline this Sunday, but all being well I might get it masked and start painting the top side in the next week.

Thanks as always for looking in.
