I just came to check if this very request was already raised. Much needed!
There's another alternative which is export your Stash to CSV, then open the file in excel, add filters to the column headers and sort by date. BUT:
The exported dates are inaccurate.

Got a start on this old horror. Should be a fun one!!

🤘😎🤘

Back to 4 wheels 👍

Kyle DeHart
Thanks guys. Frank, even when I get confused by the wings I always have something with 4 wheels hangin around too.

Kyle DeHart
I have been working on things. Just busy outside of the hobby and struggling for bench/internet time.

I'm not great fan of the gassers, but she looks OK

Kyle DeHart
Ah, I love gassers. They're so much fun! You can do anything at all to them. But I understand the high stance isn't for everyone. Thank you!!

bughunter
Nice progress!

Bozzer
Crazy looking chassis! Nice work mate!
Oddly enough, I was thinking about you, yesterday?
PM bound.

Kyle DeHart
Thank you gentlemen!!

Kyle DeHart
This one is done. I am not going to fight it anymore. Lol. This isn't an easy kit by any stretch. Not for beginners. I broke the flip nose mechanism and had to build my own. Think I ended up slightly further forward than I should've but it was a good learning experience. The decals broke into many pieces but I wanted to use them so I attempted to piece them back together. Not a great build by any stretch but it was fun.

Bob Hall
The Russian Judge 👨‍⚖️ gives it an. 8.5 👏👏👏

Kyle DeHart
Ha!! Thank you Bob. Much appreciated.

Coming this Septmeber

Don't get to see many 1/16 kits built so I'll take my seat and follow your build.

Bozzer
I'll jump in too. I've been watching the 1/16 deluge of armour kits, hitting the market, and it's tickling my juices. Granted, the prices are high, but the details are fabulous and my old eyes, can actually see the parts, and my fat fingers can place them too!
Strapping in for a back seat.

Michael Kohl
Following too.

Joseph Russo
thanks all this is my first 1/16 kit and so far I am impressed

Cortex
Following, please keep posting

Bozzer
The details on that engine, are excellent! I've done the Hasagawa 1/25 version, and that was impressive, but this is on another level 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Joseph Russo
Thank you Bozzer I usually do 1/72 so I am enjoying the detail at 1/16

Joseph Russo
Tgank you Robert hope you enjoy the ride

Neuling
Joining .........

Joseph Russo
Welcome Neulong

Joseph Russo
Basic construction complete decals and weathering next

Robert Podkoński
Looks great already! (Perhaps you will find some inspiration for weathering here: It is a men's world... (Moto Weteran Bazar) | Album by podkon )

Joseph Russo
Thank you Robert and I much appreciate the link. I think it is a great reference.

Joseph Russo
Small details added, 50 cal M2 and overall weathering. Will add some stowage and perhaps the figure included in the kit (depends on my limited figure painting ability)

Robert Podkoński
Looks fantastic! (and I am glad you liked my photos 🙂 )

Neuling
An eyecatcher!

Joseph Russo
Thank you Neuling I admire your work

Joseph Russo
Replaced the 50 Cal with a 30 cal and stowage finish the build. Very happy building at this scale

santa fe tanker
Super cool job, I'm going to do the workable steering and then going to prime, struggling because been 50 years since doing this so 1/16 is bueno. thanks for sharing

Lost_Erik
Wonderful weathering on seats and equipage. (And the rest is great too 🙂 )

Joseph Russo
Thanks Santa Fe I enjoyed the larger scale as well, read a review that the plastic parts for the steering were not up to the strain as working parts I hope it works out for you. Thank as well Lost, I liked beating it up bit.

Danumurthi Mahendra
The cargo makes it more alive. Nice!

Joseph Russo
Thanks Danumurthi, I bought the Andy Hobbies stowage set for the cargo

HobbyBoss painting schemes are suggestive at best, so to say...
Having them suggesting RLM66 on Luftwaffe camouflage, where the RLM75 should go...it's enough for me to look elsewhere.
Go with the other sources on the internet, I would suggest looking up more multiple sources.
And as far my RAF knowledge goes, after the Battle of Britain this camo combo was not used anymore, but I might be wrong.

PS. "Oark earth" shoudl say enoguh... 😄

Duster_d
Komoras, I can assume that they (HB) were guided by this: airliners.net/photo/..9-Spitfire/0843874/L

komoras
soyuyo.main.jp/spit5b/spit5be-1.html

I think this one sums it up best 🙂
Both is correct, depends only which one you want to represent - pre-august 1941 or post-august 1941.
(Thus concluding, my BoB related comment is wrong) 🙂

Nicolas
I'll take a seat.

Alex K
Me too...

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting, couldn't find any trace of DE/DG on Polish Mk Vs.
I know of Mk Is and IIs being repainted in Polish squadrons, but I'd assume this one has been repainted into DG/DG before being delivered to the 317th.
Still, there's no proof.
Very cool to see you added the undercarriage covers, what a silly mistake by HB 😄

Duster_d
Łukasz, I was guided by these photos. If the guys from Duxford had painted a real Spitfire like that, then why can't I paint a model in such a scheme? 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Sure you can 🙂 Keep it up 👍

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Looks good so far! The boxes under the Wings could be the cameraports for the later PR variants with no big gunns.
I would cut it.

Łukasz Gliński
Agree w/Hans-Jürgen - checked my 3 completed Spitfires (Mk I & V by Airfix and old KP Mk IX) and none of them sports such a feature

Duster_d
Guys, it looks like these are retractable landing lights after all. They were installed until 1942.

I have no idea why HB made them in the lower position. 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Great catch!

Duster_d
Łukasz, it seems that only Chinese manufacturers have paid attention to this feature in early (Mk.V and older) Spitfires. 🙂

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Extended landinglight!👍👍👍😅

Mr D
It's a nice tidy job and correct, there were many paint finishes on them.
HB are great little kits for the money, but have few shortcomings.
Always good to do bit of research before n around a build...it's interesting n helps with accuracy.
Top job 👍👍👍

Duster_d
Mr D, yes, exactly. In the process of building, you constantly learn something new, and that's what attracts me to this hobby. What isn't always visible in drawings or 3D models can be discovered when assembling a kit. Each assembled kit teaches me something new about its real prototype, and it's so exciting!
