Roland Gunslinger
Very nice

Antoine Meylan
Merci Roland

Christian Kohl
Antoine, comme je peux le voir, nous sommes tous les deux à peu près à la même distance . Il est toujours agréable de voir comment un modèle prend vie lentement grâce à la couleur. J'ai hâte de voir la robe de couleur de votre oiseau. Beau travail que vous montrez là !!

Antoine Meylan
Merci Christian. J'ai hâte de commencer la couleur dès que j'aurai le temps! ce kit est un vrai bonheur à faire, pas d'ajustement, presque pas de ponçage.

Interessant éclairage

Antoine Meylan
Fait maison!

Christian Kohl
Antoine, ça a l'air génial. Le pré-ombrage peut encore être vu clairement après la peinture. Nice et subtil, comme il se doit. Excellent travail - je suis ravi de voir comment les choses se passent à partir d'ici. Toutes nos félicitations

Antoine Meylan
Merci Christian.

Munkyslut
That livery is fantastic!
Watching

Adam Barber
Thanks Munkyslut haha great name too!

I will add that this wont be exactly the same scheme as the photo!

Andy Ball
Well, after 47 Christmas's I have decided to ask Santa for this one again. I know I'll be up for so much pain in building it....but it represents nostalgia and unfinished building business!

Munkyslut
Seemed fitting to start building Eddie's ride on Friday the 13th

Roland Gunslinger
Count me in

Munkyslut
Glad to have you aboard Roland........ it's not a car or a bike......... I need all the help I can get

Nathan Dempsey
Woooo! Munkey is doing a plane!

Nigel Chapman
I bet you still have your cut down t-shirt and spandex trousers !

Munkyslut
Sadly I'm not in long trousers yet Nigel............ but..........I've got some left over pink shag from the transit I might use on the cockpit

Nigel Chapman
That would look different but not very Eddie. Is there any Iron Maiden related decals ?

Munkyslut
Yeah mate there's the official logo decals for the underside of the wings & the fuselage plus some Eddie related 'kill' decals for the nose.
I'd quite like to go a bit extreme on the weathering....... more like battle scarred & close to self destruction, bullet holes, damaged panels tearing away from the airframe, bit of blood......... a bit like the demonic Eddie himself.

Nigel Chapman
Yeah, that sounds great go for it !
I found footage of maiden at Donington 2013 with the spitfire fly past

Daniel
Demonic spitfire? Sounds cool

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting

Łukasz Gliński
I see you're making quick progress

Andy Ball
Nice one! Just done a Tamiya 48'r too- lovely kit!?

Steffen Arndt
O.K. this will probably be my next project when I have finished the Ki 61 ... another of the new Tamiya kits but what is not to like about them.
When it came out and I had the sets available I started right away (as with most kits I have). I used K9906 from the kit as a building guide for Malans K9953 ... not sure if this is correct but I thought the serial numbers are close enough that both came from the same badge. the photographs show how far I got when I lost motivation...

Steffen Arndt
I needed to read the instructions carefully again to get, what should be positioned where. I must say that I found the Tamiya instructions not as clear as normally. So I needed to consult several books and the internet to figure some things out. Adding to this that I do not want to do one of the kits decal options took me some days just to clarify things. Now that I am done with the pit I am o.k. with it, but I am pretty sure that a few things are still wrong.
I have assembled the wing and tail planes already (see pic 6) so I could proceed with the completion of the airframe when the fuselage was closed yesterday ... it looks preety much like an airplane now. The u/c is about to dry at the moment so I will take a photo later today.

Daniel Klink
I'm in

Steffen Arndt
Hab mal ein Foto des derzeitigen Standes gemacht. Sieht schon recht fortgeschritten aus, aber es ist noch eine Menge zu tun.

Steffen Arndt
I have added some more smaller and larger parts and the canopy. I used the parts for the opened option, bit the center section (sliding hood) was cut as a mask from the closed option part. I masked front and rear canopy and then sprayed it interior green. To check pro imperfections it was spayed silver.

Steffen Arndt
According to DK Decals Instruction I have painted the underside first white then masked it and airbrushed black. Eduard has this machines underside in sky grey. As this is just a matter of time frame I will stick with b/w although the other two (Bader / McKellar) will have this too. I have seen on the picture that I need to add a bit more colour to the wing trailing edges... doh

Steffen Arndt
To keep up with the two Eduard Spit I I also painted this one the base brown colour. Of course I used Tamiya's Flat Earth for this kit. It is slightly more on the red side but i like it anyway...

Clifford Keesler
Looking good.

Andy Ball
In a time long-long-ago, I had this for a Christmas present!, don't think it was ever finished by my Dad, one day I'll do it!

Munkyslut
To be honest Andy I just have a thing for collecting Red Stripe kits, I doubt I'll ever make it!

Jesús Alcocer
Thanks a lot Marc.

Choppa Nutta
Hi Michael,
any chance you could put together an album with pictures of the kit contents for this model.
Would be interested in seeing what the plastic sprues and decals look like and all that good stuff

Michael Stonehouse
Hi Choppa,
This is a partworks model comprising of 120 issues. The first issue (with parts for the propeller) has just been released here in Australia and issue 39 has been released in the UK. This is a diecast model with pre-painted parts right down to the markings. There's no decals to be applied. Follow this link to have a look at Genessis Models (UK) on Youtube, who are doing a video build on this model

Cheers, Michael

Choppa Nutta
Thanks Michael,
I've already watched the Genessis Models videos on this,
for some reason I thought this was a different kit, a proper kit
sorry for the mistake and thanks again for clarifying

Michael Stonehouse
Hi Choppa,

It's no problem at all.

Cheers, Michael

Aces High
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
There comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble, we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks, there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly
Fly to live
Do or die
Won't you run?
Live to fly
Fly to live
Aces high
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away
Roll over, spin 'round to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again
Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us
Ten ME-109s out of the sun
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them, I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving, doing it again
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly
Fly to live
Do or die
Won't you run?
Live to fly
Fly to live
Aces high
