You could ask MDC to send you the missing parts?

Those are very nice. On one of them by Jakub Vilingr, he mentions deviating from the instructions in regards to the wing cannon hatches and it looks as though he gets a very good fit. I can't quite understand what he did and google translate is not particularly helpful in this instance.

Very nice! I like the painting, were the topsides masked or was it all done freehand?

Cockpit is looking great so far.

I'd avoid going for the gun pods. As far as I'm aware they were not used operationally because the recoil put too much stress on the wings. Yellow K would have probably stuck with the same bomb racks for it's career.

"I'm with you on this one Mesher. You'd think after all the flak Eduard has gotten with their other Fw releases that they'd truly make that much more of an effort to get it right. Apparently that's not the case though....for if you're Eduard, people will buy....despite the flaws. ~spoken with sarcasm~" People will buy the Eduard kit because it's still superior to the competition. I'll admit I'm not happy about the canopy. The gun cover doesn't look all that bad though. The Tamiya kit does fit together very well but that's the best thing about it. Look at the cockpit, those odd rods sticki

I don't use this brush very often but when I do whenever I press the trigger i'm getting bubbles appearing in the paint cup. It also struggles to spray thinned paint which my smaller HP B airbrush sprays easily. I've checked the tightness of the nozzle & needle cap and they calso seem to be good and the channel between the paint cup and the nozzle is clean. Also the trigger mechansim itself is quite sticky (to relase air). Is there a way of opening up the airbrush around the air valve plunger? Any help would be appreciated.

If you're ok about spending the money then go for the HP model. This will easily give enough coverage for spraying large areas on a model but is also precise enough for detailing work. I think that the larger 0.5 nozzle would make any detailing more difficult. Also a larger nozzle and needle combination requires more pressure which is tricky for small scale work.

Nice work, did you have any trouble getting the MDC gun cowl to fit at all? +1 looking forward to the eduard kit

They both look great, I especially like the weathering on the Spitifre it looks very realistic.

Looking good so far!

mr surfacer and mr white putty

Nice build, brings back memories playing rogue squadron on the N64 lol

That's a great job!

I'm also having trouble using this, I know it's supposed to be easy - just wipe down the seam - but somehow I always get left with the seam not quite filled. Is there something I'm missing?
