Supermarine 224 - The First Spitfire

Had some spare PE in order to enhance the airframe details

J35JThanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.

Robert PodkońskiYou're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.
25 July, 12:55
Mr DNice, Nice 👍👍, lalways wanted to see a vacform build, Do you have to make up other parts to add on ??
Thanks for upload 😃👍
27 July, 19:59
J35JThanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

Mr DThanks 👍👍 great, will do , l have an intest...as l enjoy making parts, lve had to do it few times, when parts lost or broken or details missed of kit...even canopy once 🤣.
Will check out the XP-67
28 July, 17:00
J35J@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.

J35J@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

10 August, 15:13
gorbyWelcome to the show Alex and thanks very much. 🙂
The buildy bit is nearly complete so, as usual I'm playing catch-up with the report. Hopefully another update tomorrow. 🙂
10 August, 16:35
Jay DubyaFront row seat, on the bleachers, please Gorby. I wouldn't want to crane my neck to see!
11 August, 01:47
John HughesAnother build in the series "What's gorby up to now?" Be honest, though. The only reason you didn't have orange flares was that you couldn't get over the fence at the local airfield to steal a couple of windsocks!
11 August, 08:28
Kesa TihoI dont understand anything thats going on but i hope your build turns out absolutely stunning
11 August, 08:41
gorbyThat made me laugh John. 😄
Kesa: I like to buildodd looking vehicles some of which are converted from standard kits. I looooove scratch building.
Thanks both for tagging along. 🙂
11 August, 09:00
Kesa TihoScale models can be converted? So like a F111 model could be fitted with a nuke even though the original model didnt have one?
11 August, 09:03
gorbyDefinitely Kesa, there is a whole range of aftermarket conversions you can buy or if you are feeling adventurous, some conversions are reasonably easy to scratch build yourself. I have a couple of drawers full of plastic sheet of various thickness and plastic and metal rods, tubes, strips etc. I once saw a fantastic large scale scratch build of a B17 build that used the plastic from yogurt pots as the skin.
11 August, 10:56
gorbyExcellent!
I found a link to the B17 I mentioned. It shows what is possible:

David TaylorHi Gorby.On the real truck there is a winch as a standard fit in the middle.
12 August, 18:27
Spanjaardamazing job my friend. not tobe missed, certainly
thanks for the link to that 1:20 B17, it is out of this world.....
12 August, 19:14
gorbyThanks David, that might have been the reason. 👍
Thanks Spanjaard. That B17 is one of the best scratch-builds I've ever seen - well beyond my ability. I think he sold it to a museum in the US.
13 August, 06:42
gorbyNew photos start at number 18.
I hope to complete the build today and hopefully take some photos in the next couple of days.
Thanks for tagging along. 👍
14 August, 09:37
David TaylorLooking at the pic Gorby the driver is reversing the truck back to install the engine.Probably a hand winch with a ratchet.

Guy RumpLooking good, following. 👍 What do you use the Novus scratch remover for? Is it any good?
27 July, 07:06
Will DosselI use it as a final step before priming to polish out tiny scratches. Also use it on clear parts - I think it gives a more realistic shine to clear parts than Pledge floor wax. First found out about it when I had to polish out a canopy that required a good bit of sanding.

Mirko RömerFabulous kit. After checking references and a visit to the Flygvapenmusem in our summer vacation I decided to stick to my trusty AK Real Colours.
12 August, 18:52
Michael KohlI got the ol' Heller kit. Following with interest. Did you have to mix the colors or could you use them straight from the jar?
13 August, 14:41
Mirko RömerThanks mates! I used the colours straight out of the jar, with lighter US od freckles over the lighter UK od.
13 August, 20:06
Thomas KolbI have three of those kits in the stash waiting for a triple build, so I will follow with great interest. You nailed the colors pretty much perfect. It's quite an elusive greenish brown that looks different on each photo, and not easy to mix yourself. BTW, did you have problems getting the nose weights in place?
14 August, 06:54
Mirko RömerWell, it's not too roomy. I used material for tyre balancing in nose and behind the cockpit bulkhead, appr. 15g.

CaptGPFThank you everyone for your likes. 😀
Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!
Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.
RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/
