As the title says this will have extras mainly in the cockpit as it will have Eduard pe so wish me luck.

Here we go with a proper start.


First up is the IP starting with the out of the box one it has had all the details filed smooth and the four piece IP constructed

I have this in the stash, and I reckon I've spent three times the price of the kit buying all the corrections for it!

Afternoon all here's my progress so for the cockpit and seat is finished just now awaiting the pe seat belts and other bits and bob's

Peter, make sure you remove those strange lozenge shapes on the upper an lower wings. I think they might be some kind of lifting lugs for the museum example measured and were not present on a flying Spitfire. That is the only really visible mistake that Revell have made.






There are a few minor quibbles. As you are adding detail to the cockpit I'm guessing that you will pose the door open. If your model is at a date prior to January 1942 you need to remove the crow bar from the door.


Cheers
