Eric B. Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hello, Beautiful model, I really like it. Well build, painted and weathered, and photographs are sharp! Congratulations.. Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'm surprised there are not more comments (but I guess its not a 1/32 american jet, so most folks on ARC don't look). This is a very nice build. I like all the extra things on the wings. I like the smooth finish, and light weathering. Great photography too! The canopy looks a little bit funny - its taller than the windscreen. This may be because SH made the windscreen too flat on top. Is it possible to pose it open, it wouldn't be as obvious then? That's just me nitpicking. Its a very nice build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rav_pl Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thank you for your comments, Eric and RKic. I'm happy you like the model. The canopy looks a little bit funny - its taller than the windscreen. This may be because SH made the windscreen too flat on top. Yes, the canopy was the major problem in my build. The rear part could fit if the area under it was flat - but it is not. I has to cut the internal edge to make it sit lower. It was hard to get an acceptable result (and I did not get it in my opinion). I was close to abandon the model because of it. Is it possible to pose it open, it wouldn't be as obvious then? Yes, you can pose it open, but I never do it in my models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravosierra001 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 That is one mean looking Spitfire!! Well done. I especially like the weathering. Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Brilliant, there is a lot to like about a Navy Spitfire that looks like its being going hard on the steroids. No wonder the FR.47 is often called the ultimate Spitfire, & you've caught that really well. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 By heck, that's a neat build! And wonderfully done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
