Acki
I´m hooked.

Augie
If this is the mold i think it is... may god have mercy on you.. this is one of the molds that drove me away from airfix..

Paul Tomczak
That looks great - can't wait to see it done

ole moller
it seems to go together easier with all the cut outs lol,so you lose something and gain alot

Frank Krause
Interesting project! I'm also in. Acki, move a bit left and leave me some space...😉

leslie vandiver
I am in as well... Can't wait to see the finished product I totally admire your dedication. I'll take the floor...

ole moller
tanks are now finished without rivet detail,as i found it was not used on the tanks,instrument panel done,wiring at back is now underway

kamal sabokbar
very nice...

Duncan Cook
That looks interessting.

ole moller
progressing slowly,i am hopeless at measuring things and that makes for adjustments all the time lol

leslie vandiver
Referring to a message left early you have never built a tank, You have to do one, if you are that (not sure of word I am looking for, its good ) I mean you are so throe with this build I would love to see what you can do with a tank I would even send you one just to see you build one lol Really This build you doing on the edge of my seat nail biting can't wait to see just a photo a day lol

ole moller
nope never done a tank,done 1 ship HMS Illustrious(not finished)and the rest are planes lol,only been doing model making just over a year

Paul Tomczak
I have a unbuilt 1/72 DML Do-335 with lots of interior detail in the cockpit and the two engines fully detailed with PE. I am watching how you do this as I think it would be really cool to open up the fuselage to see the details.

ole moller
gives a new dimension to plastic models i think

V M
What a knife do you use? Just can't read the name of the firm....

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Wow,great so far. 👍

ole moller

V M
Thanks for reply- not really what I asked for (actually I've the saws- they're doing the work good!).
I asked for the handle (bold one, black) for the knife blades.

Just UNBELIEVABLE!!!

ole moller

Sherif Sharmy
Wow.

ole moller

Frank Krause
Oh, come on - that's crazy! You forgot the wire for the horn in the cockpit...😉😉😉
Amazing work on details! 👍 👍 👍

ole moller
i knew there was something lol,shall i have them play `the yellow rose of texas`

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
A lot of great work!
Looking forward for more.

ole moller
thank you people

Holger Kranich
Wow, what an amazing work! Do you plan to finish it this year?

ole moller
yes thats the plan Holger

Holger Kranich
You still have a lot of work/fun in front of you! Good luck, i´ll follow this here for sure!

ole moller
yup lots to do but if i take my time it will build quicker,i think thats the philosophy lol

Holger Kranich
Truly not a bad oppinion!😢 I will try that by myself!
What do you say about the kit? Is it a rebox or new tool?

ole moller
its a rebox,just tried to dry fit wings and they are ouch one wing is forward the other is fine,i think the mold slipped during injection,with the wheels on it looks like it is trying to walk one wheel in front of the other lol oh well

Holger Kranich
Oh s**t, one issue more to fix!
What do you use for reference? Web or books? Or mixed?

ole moller
i have plans for a mk5 on the wall,which was changed for camera work,so thats my main point of reference,i had to cut wings and take a lump away then added another bit to make it equal oh what joy,on the plus side it help with the aileron bellcrank,it now fits inside lol

Holger Kranich
LOL

ole moller
facebook.com/photo.p..p;type=2&theater ,here is the ram moving,i can move it with air blown through piping but no control over it lol

ole moller
wings are now glued shut,took me an hour arghhh they didnt want to play,then i had lots of sanding to get it to marry up to the fuse just for a dry fit,why did no one tell me lol,but today rugby takes first place and model building takes a break

Erik Francisco Zimmermann
Ole, you are doing a grand work😉

ole moller
thnx for that started back to it today

Sherif Sharmy
I had that kit before but swapped it with Matchbox`s F22-24. These big kits of Airfix were all but trouble. The best was the Stuka as far as i remember. Anyway, I will send you the pdf 2morrow.

ole moller
thnx Sherif,i havent built many models but the wings,dont seem to want to marry up,though i think i will get this done a bit at a time lol,gives it a bit more fun in my eyes lol

Sherif Sharmy
Do u need the whole book or something specific as it is 120 pages. Are u converting it or just Mk1. Let me know what you need exactly

ole moller
just the mk1 would be really good Sherif,its the only spitfire i like really

Sherif Sharmy
Ok

ole moller
scratch built the door with locking mechanism couldnt get it to work as drills were to big to attach rods lol

Lionel Marco
Awesome...

Acki
What a phantastic job, Ole.

Flemming Forsberg
this is better then fine, its over the top, i really like the way you show use the ways, thanks man, i will go back to my b17 cheers

Choppa Nutta
a most unusual take on an old favorite !!
nice work, I like it 🙂

Ben STONE
Brilliant work, what an undertaking.

ole moller
this model is now in a museum in the town,because people can look inside and see how the wheels go up and down,i used air through a small tube but took it off,kids are just not careful lol.

kamal sabokbar
very nice

Gordon Sørensen
Great idea and very well done!

Spanjaard

Gabriel Trechas
That's a Big Bad Spit!!!
