Steffen Arndt added a new photoalbum.
Steffen ArndtO.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...
3. May, 10:28
Steffen ArndtI 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.

Steffen ArndtHab mal ein Foto des derzeitigen Standes gemacht. Sieht schon recht fortgeschritten aus, aber es ist noch eine Menge zu tun.
24. May, 15:16
Steffen ArndtI 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.

Giannis KaltapanidisMy only objection is the grey background that blends the Spit too well!
Otherwise... love it!
16. June, 18:32
Lochsa_Riververy, very nice....as a former pro photog...have to agree about the background...go with white and add some color...bet its got more color than these photos suggest.

Michael HickeyHi Wilky, typical colors for RAAF aircraft that operated on the African front.

Derek HuggettRude to but in (sorry!). Checked the 'Bible' ('Spitfire: The History' - Eric B. Morgan & Edward Shacklady 1987) and a bit more info on A58-370.
UK serial JG603, built as part of Supermarine Aviation (Vickers) Ltd. Contract No. Aircraft/1877/C23(C) - first order for 800 Mk VIII built between November 1942 and April 1944. Airframe No. 5058, built at Eastleigh Factory (Southampton), assigned to 6 Maintenance Unit RAF 24-11-1943, then 215 Maintenance Unit RAF 4-12-1943. Then shipped as ADF Serials information.
Back to my books!

Michael HickeyCool, you learn something new everyday. That's what I love about this hobby and how you can trace the history of the real machine, thanks for sharing Derek.
6. June, 13:12
Michael HickeyAnd I'm calling this one done, and 8 for the year so far. I'll be very happy if I can get another 4 done by Xmas because that will be my 12 for the year.

TreehuggerIf you ever considered airbrushing on the roundels, there are now really nice circle cutters one can use for cutting very nice patches of circular masks. They look like a metal ring where a center part is rotating with a tiny blade in it, so no flimsy compass cutter.
