I'm following! I've got the same kit (twice) and the same pilot-figure 🙂

Choppa Nutta
looks sweet thus far 🙂
got this kit in the stash, one to look forward too 🙂

Stephan Ryll
Gents you're welcome 🙂
@Tim - to fit the Pilot to the cockpit you have to remove the pedals - the legs are to long 🙂

Tim van Dooremalen
Thanks! good to know beforehand 😉
8 February 2016, 18:53
Stephan Ryll
you also have to modify the pilot a Little bit - you can't fit him into the cockpit when it's glued to the hull

Clifford Keesler

Pilot fit test to the section - seatbelt must be added
10 February 2016, 18:26
Stephan Ryll
I've added the pilot to the cockpit-seatbelts are attached 🙂

Thomas Bischoff
great work and nice pilot - the goggles are not yet convincing me, maybe some clear gloss would improve it?
13 February 2016, 13:08
Choppa Nutta
that pilot does look good, you've achieved a very natural finish to him 🙂
13 February 2016, 16:23
Stephan Ryll
Thank you mates that you like the pilot🙂
@ Thomas - I will put some clear glass coat on top before I finish the bird
@ Choppa - the flesh tone is always a thing that drives me crazy - I mix up to four colours to come to an convinincing result

arne vd burg
Very nice start Stephan
13 February 2016, 20:33
Stephan Ryll
Thank you Arne,

In the next step I will glue the wings to the fuselage - the dry fit looks ok
14 February 2016, 14:14

I agree with Mr Nutta, great job on the pilot, especially his face. Cockpit's lovely too 👍
15 February 2016, 15:05
Stephan Ryll
Thank you Mike - your comment is much appreciated 🙂

Your pilot looks very realistic, he will add much to the aircraft. I used to love doing pilots, but once I got into the Photo-etch, I just stopped doing them.
15 February 2016, 21:51
Greco Otero
I am with the rest of the guys... love the pilot excellent work with the plane too.,
16 February 2016, 00:32
Stephan Ryll
Thank you gents - your comments are much appreciated 🙂
For me the pilot is the most hardest work to get him looking right

More pictures to come on the weekend
16 February 2016, 21:12
Stephan Ryll
now the project is finished 🙂 later than expected
quite a good kit to build - I had no issues so far - exception some PE parts "escaped" and the main antenna got broken during a crash landing
hope you like it

Choppa Nutta
...... really nicely done Stephan ! 🙂
Got any photos of the whole plane as all the photos are a bit of a close up,
good photos as they are but it is always nice to see the whole model within
the frame of the photo, I wanted to see which rudder option you went for etc.

Cheers 🙂
6 March 2016, 15:28
Stephan Ryll
Choppa you´re right 🙂 - added some more photos - will do some more from the whole bird tomorrow

your are welcome
6 March 2016, 15:47
Choppa Nutta
Cool 🙂
I look forward to more magazine quality photos😉
I have this kit in my stash hence my extra interest,
I'm saving it for when my skills and confidence improve etc. as it is a Master quality kit 🙂
6 March 2016, 16:00
Stephan Ryll
I'll so my very best - it's a realy high quality kit

Saw the guitars in your album- very cool ones 👍 - had to activate my old ESP and was used to play some Pink Floyd stuff
6 March 2016, 16:10
Choppa Nutta

Ding Deng Dang Dong !!!!!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo da Dah !!

6 March 2016, 16:57
Stephan Ryll
Thank you Thomas - more pictures to come tomorrow evening 🙂

Mark Medwell
So cool, the pilot is well done... And it really adds to the scale, such a cramped little cockpit on the spitfire...
7 March 2016, 12:25
Stephan Ryll
Thank you Mark - a cockpit for small pilots😉

@Choppa - pics are there 🙂
7 March 2016, 15:52
Choppa Nutta
that's more like it !! Awesome 🙂
always nice to see some photos entirely within the frame, it's nice to be able take in the whole model all in one go ! 🙂
A lovely build, super tidy and it will make a nice reference for me too😉
Cheers 👍

My last two Spitfires were a bit of a derelict mess, next one is going to be a cleaner attempt,
I've got loads of them waiting in the stash😉
7 March 2016, 19:32
Stephan Ryll
Choppa 🙂 it's always good to have a Spit a Hurricane and a Mosquito in the stash -all Great planes
7 March 2016, 20:33
Choppa Nutta
don't have a Hurricane or a Mossy as yet, missed out on a bid for the Mossy, still got a bunch of other classics, Harriers, Me109's, FW190's, F4U etc. etc. etc. 🙂
7 March 2016, 20:48
Stephan Ryll
I was used to have them - I calculated that I'm finished with my stash 2023😉😉

I use the models to calm down from work - and the musik to free the mind
7 March 2016, 20:52
Choppa Nutta
I use both those for therapy haha 😄
that and alcohol and certain herbal "remedies"😉
7 March 2016, 20:56
Stephan Ryll
Haha Choppa 🙂 a good bottle of red wine could be a pleasure - therapy- what ever helps😉 sometimes a kit and PE parts and don't forgot about the extra thin stuff
