Here be what I be using.  Also picked up the Eduard cockpit set and some canopy masks




Contents of the conversion set - 2 x floats, new 4 blade prop & spinner, extended carburettor intake, inserts for the wheel wells and a new rudder with a straight leading edge and ventral fillet.




This one will be built as one of the 3 prototypes - one for Joe's R&D SIG.  Had the conversion set for about 7 years, and the floatplane GB on ARC gives me the excuse I needed to build it.  Looking forward to it, should be a test of my skills.

Hmm methinks deeps down in my psyche I really want to be Nev, just finished one lovely Spit now he's starting another, I too have spent the last coupla months collecting a ridiculous amount of Spitfires and plan on building them all real world.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

I'm looking forward to this one too, Nev! I sense it's gonna be a real eye-catcher!

That resin looks very nice indeed - looking forward to seeing it at Telford 07  :)

Do you have the article and plans that were in one of the mags a couple of months ago Nev ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

What a daft question, of course I don't!!  :dum:  :dum:

It wouldn't be a proper modelling project if I find out about info I need after I've started!  :dum:
