Academy Spitfire FR.Mk.XIVe
Pre-testing the fit of the resin part before starting the build.
Adding a few details.
Adding a little more..
Once primed, the finish is not as clean as I expected. It migth need a little clean up to make it look better .
Made a new tool.
Good thing I looked at the Seatbelt instruction before starting the painting. I had to cut a slot in the part at now my seat look happy.
Body primed. Ready for riveting!

Thank you I'm almost done with it. I really enjoyed upgrading the cockpit, but I discover that CA glue tend to show trougth the primer. I'll apply less the next wime I use metal wire for making hoses.
I should be posting photos of the final soon.

I added most them using a rivet tool. It's quite a game changer for me, but it demand a lot of pratice to maintain a staigth line. That or a better technique than mine..
I learned by following this video as a guide (well this channel alone pretty much convinced me to get back at model making.
