Spitfire Mk-38

Working on bits and pieces. Put some screen in the radiators for something to look at and have started adding flaps.

Looking good Eddie. Even if its just small little detail stuff. I like the flaps, is it just sprue? I've thought of using that before, but its nice seeing that it works. Keep up the good work, Eddie.

Screens=good, flaps=good, progress=good, so far so good    

This build is lookin' very good

Nice Eddie! Your detail work is among the best around! I really like the screens on the readiator scoops. What did you use for that?
:salute:

"I like the flaps, is it just sprue?"

Yep. very simple to use and I like the look of it. Good eye! B)

"I really like the screens on the readiator scoops. What did you use for that?"

Many moons ago, I bought that screen at a hardware store. I believe it was sold to make custom screens for faucets, water hoses and the like.

Thanks for the kind words Guys. I helps while I go through another problem with my root canal I had last year. It seems it may be fractured (yes, it's painful ) between the roots. May have to get it extracted. At least the pills help. For some reason, I'm a little sleepyyyyyyyy

Gack!!  My sympathies, Eddie, I've been in similar situations and 'tain't pleasant.  Good luck on getting it taken care of promptly.

I know I owe you some drawings and I hope to get those, and other bits I owe folk, taken care of over the Christmas hols.

Thanks for the info, Eddie. You've certainly got my sympaties with the root-canal fracture. It seems Santa brought me some dental issues just in time for the holidays too. Unfortunately, my benefits don't pick up again untuil after the 1st. I hope you're feeling beter soon and I look forward to your next update!

Hopefully, your mouth is okay again.  Any progress on this one, Eddie?

Almost ready to install the tailplane and get a coat of primer on it. Photos soon.... I think my tooth has had better days. Not looking forward to an extraction of a big fat molar.... :ill:

This is I envision the tail surfaces working out. A little bit of the arc needs to come out of the tailplane, but this is pretty close to what I want.

[John Howling Mouse]

Wow, that really puts the whole concept into perspective.  Beauty!  Don't forget to thin down the trailing edges, eh?  Can't wait to see you hit this one with paint, Eddie.

Cool!!!!

[Brian da Basher]

That's astounding, Eddie! The new tailplanes really bring this beauty together!

Truly gorgeous, Mister Miller! This really looks to be a mean lil SoB! I'm just loving that central nacelle, looks just right!

[Eddie M.]

Baz, BdaB and Zac,
  Thank all very much. I'm hoping to shake the cobwebs out of this one, but who know....
    Eddie

[Eddie M.]

I removed a bit of the arc on the tailplane and now I think it's at a better proportion. That was one of the major hurdles to get passed and now i move on to the landing gear.
