More Spitfires

Not sure if I've posted these, but too drunk to care!

First up, a salvage job. Started off as a part built Airfix Ia or Vb converted to a mk XII, so a PRIVG made some sense. This is the correct shade for PRU Pink, BTW!

Next, a Tr.XVIIIe. Originally, a gash mk XVIII resin fuselage but modified to take a trainer spine with much filling.

Part work in progress but in actual fact it's progressed much further yet still unfinished. This is a Tr.21. Or will be when finished.

Love the "pink" one. No trace of that colour to be seen on my monitor but that's my problem.

Nice ones Lee

It's an extremely subtle shade. Photo taken on a very sunny day in the back garden and under the right lighting conditions, light pink and light green especially, can appear whiter than white.

Nice work ! Like the first one especially. Be nice if the pics were sized to the screen tho

Good stuff Lee.

What resin are you using for the Tr.21 fuselage? Home designed/casted faired into a FROG/NOVO/etc F.XIVc?

(or for a 2-seat plane :

Perfectly correct. Mould was kindly donated by TsrJoe and I have several T-bird spines in the Spitfire bits box. Yes, a Frog/NOVO F.XIV fuselage and it'll take a new wing with some surgery. Worth a punt if you can buy them cheap. £3 usually in a second hand bin at a show isn't a bad price for essentially a donor fuselage.
