    Really nice looking Spitfire.  I love the color, and the 5 bladed prop!  If you had difficulties during the build, it's not at all obvious from the finished product.  I'd love to do this airplane myself, with all the details you did...not sure i can see any way to improve upon what you did.  Great job!  

     

    Thanks Curt 🙂

    Yes I know.

    Somebody said they have covered every F-111. I was trying to point out that that isnt technically correct as there are some versions of the F cockpit not made.
    He then said I can use the kit instrument panel to represent an F model without a Pave tack pod, which not only isnt true because that isnt what the kit parts represent it also defeats the object of buying something to do something when you already have what you need to do it. (Except you dont)

     

    Ha ha. Now you're misunderstanding me! I wasn't responding to you, which is why I didn't quote you...

    You said "no F without PaveTack" and I said that there's one in the kit. Why is that a feeble answer ??, it's better than nothing. RES/KIT has plans to do the wheel wells, bomb bay and, intakes at some point. Hopefully a PaveTack pod down the road as well. They have a lot of other things going on besides F-111 parts.

    You misunderstood him. He wasn't saying there's no Pave Tack, he was saying ResKit have not produced a cockpit for an F without Pave Tack. Which I think was pretty obvious from the context.

    LF: Hasegawa 1/48 F-14 parts C38/39

    Bit of a long shot, but I'm looking for any spare parts C38/39 from any 1/48 Hasegawa F-14. These are the small ECM bumps provided in the F-14A/D kits that are unused. If anyone has a couple spare they'd be willing to send to the UK for postage, I'd be most grateful.

     

    Thanks for looking

    Hello All,

     

    My eighth and final completion for 2021 is Airfix's 1/48 Spitfire PR.19. Not the best kit, with some significant fit issues, poor quality moulding and rather over-emphasised panel lines, but pretty accurate by all accounts and a model of a great looking aircraft. My only additions were the whip aerial and the Rebecca Mk.II landing aid under the rear fuselage missed by Airfix. The scheme is from an Xtradecals sheet, but the serials are not quite right so in the end I only used the roundels, squadron crests and zeroes on the underwing serials. The tail flashes and prop stencils are from the kit and the serials are masked and airbrushed (the misalignment is intentional and somewhat neater than the real thing was). PRU Blue is from MRP and Medium Sea Grey from Mr Color. I've written a bit more about building the kit here: https://jonbryon.com/airfix-1-48-supermarine-spitfire-pr-19/

     

    Comments very welcome

    CD48221 - 1/48 T-34C Turbo Mentor

    I used the Czech Model decals on my Sky Models 1/48 T-34C (which I guess is even harder to find than the CM one). The CM decals have all kinds of problems for the option I used: national insignia the wrong shape, sharkmouth design incorrect, completely wrong eyes, wrong RESCUE arrow, missing stencils, wrong font for the serial number, etc. I would have *loved* to be able to use some Caracal decals on this!

    They will not get a shipment until the sheet is reprinted - nobody except who preordered will get one until the situation is resolved. Sorry.

    Scott Z. on Ebay will get a small quantity for those who can't wait.

     

    Thanks for the reply. I can wait 🙂
