Björn Svedberg I've started the build of ICM's 1:48 scale Spit VII. I really like the detail level of the kit and I plan on having the top engine cover and one of the side covers removable to display the engine. 🙂

Björn Svedberg You are very welcome, mate!
Another little update. I have painted and mounted the seat belts for the cockpit.
Björn Svedberg Thank you Rui! 🙂
Another update, I have finished the engine and mounted it and the cockpit in the fuselage. Next will be some filling and sanding before starting to paint the camo.

Björn Svedberg Yet another update. I have painted the camo scheme and put on the decals. I'm closing in on the finish line for this build. 🙂

John Looking really good. I need to get one of the ICM Spitfires, they look like they build up really well.

Björn Svedberg Thanks John and Micky! 🙂
The ICM kits are really nicely detaild and relatively cheap for what you get. I really like them! 🙂
It is finished and ready to go flying high in the sky. Time to finish up the Dornier that has been sitting on the shelf for a while..

Bruce Huxtable Really nice results 👍 How did you find the fit of the engine? It looks great with the side panels off.

Björn Svedberg Thank you Bruce! 🙂
I did alot of dry fitting before gluing the fuselage halves together. After that, everything around the engine fit really well. The only thing I had to modify was the inside of the top engine cowl that I sanded down to get it to fit around the top of the engine.
Björn Svedberg Thank you Neuling and Never a Pro! 🙂
I'm trying my best, but it is always hard to give the attention to detail when the build is closing in on the finish line. I'm still too eager to rush it.
