Maciej Bellos Most of the upper surface decals are there.

Aris aka Amen Beautiful!

Maciej Bellos Thank you Ari!

Erik Leijdens Nice Maciej

Maciej Bellos Thank you Erik!

Maciej Bellos Ever seen a sharkmouth F-16? Yes, there were a couple, possibly only at Spangdahlem.
A tailband needs to be corrected and washing is next.

Aris aka Amen Very unique Mathios!
Stencils look great!
Can you strip off the refueling decal? I think it needs replacement too. The transparency is yellow or it has darker grey!

Maciej Bellos Thank you Ari, for the missing stencils. I replaced the refuelling decal, however since it was pretty old, the glue is a bit brownish. The first decal was from Hasegawa and it was a bit darker (and a bit greenish) than the rest of the stencils.

Maciej Bellos So the Spit I am building has the "c" wing which housed two cannons and four machine guns, the latter residing at the outer portions of the wing. Does anybody know if the end of the barrel of each machine gun was visible? Check my last photo.

Gareth Windsor The 303 machine guns were recessed and would be covered with a red cloth square to protect the barrel from the elements. If you look at pictures of British WWII fighters that have returned home after a dog fight the bullets have ripped a hole in the cloth.
Hope this helps.

Maciej Bellos Thank you Gareth! Really helpful!

Treehugger The box art seems to depict the guns at the center of the wing.

Maciej Bellos Welcome Treehugger! There are one 20mm cannon and two .303 machine guns depicted in the boxart. Gareth's link was very helpful.

Treehugger I went now to check with my Eduard spit in 1:48 scale, but I realized that I have the IXe. That one only has two .50 cannons apparently.

Treehugger Looking at the drawings for the Eduard IXc on their website, the outer 303 guns seems to be a little over the center line, I did not know that. Presumably, the new Eduard stuff is more accurate. No 303 gun barrel seems to be protruding out of the wing.

Maciej Bellos Thanks!

Maciej Bellos Birthday gift!

Maciej Bellos Welcome Konrad!

nikolaos kouzinis Καλη αρχη Μαθιε

Maciej Bellos Ευχαριστώ Νίκο!

Clifford Keesler Looking good. Nice fixes on the problem areas.

Maciej Bellos Thank you Clifford.

One other thing that needs fixing is the engine nozzle. Well, you can't fix it actually...! The F100 engine, built by Pratt and Whitney, has 15 turkey feathers. The F110 engine, built by General Electric, has 12 turkey feathers. Both engine nozzles in Italeri's kit have 14 feathers!!! So I am going to use a nozzle from Hasegawa's kit, since they will be built as Block 40/50 machines.

Ed Froix looking good!

Spanjaard nice cockpit!

Maciej Bellos Welcome Ed and Spanjaard!

Patrick Hagelstein Cool! I like the consistancy of the markings!

Maciej Bellos Thanks Patrick! Also the markings are placed in the correct direction. I wanted to have the pointy end pointing backwards. She insisted the other way and she is right. When looking at a model we start from the front to the back. Thus each heart is correctly positioned.

Patrick Hagelstein Leason learned: women are always right! Even if they aren't!

Spanjaard Martin should see this one

Spanjaard great that you get her in the hobby

reisender.ab My daughter got a Japanese in glossy pink. Not doing much herself, than killing the landing gear all two days. Good to involve her in daddy's crazy stuff

Maciej Bellos My daughter's second model. She insisted on it being pink. Since pink is a rather elusive modeling colour, I decided to make it myself. At a local hardware store, the owner told me to mix red and beige. My lifecolor inventory has red and flesh. A 50-50 mix rendered a rather dark shade of pink. After some more experimentation with adding white I got the final shade, daughter approved
At first I offered Minnie. Then she wanted butterflies. I counter offered some unicorn stickers but she decided colourful hearts.
A gloss coat is up next and possibly #2 on the tail fin, and she'll be ready.
