I had problems with the IP being too low also. I thought it was something I did.
I ended up sanding a lot of the bottom of the IP off before the lower wings lined up.
I filled the wing root gaps with stretched sprue so I could re-scribe the wing root lines.
Seriously though, watch out for the canopy fit. It's horrible.

I had a few problems with putting the wings on, seems like the IP stuck down too low and I ended up using too much force and managed to break the IP but luckily it's hard to see. Not sure if the wing was already bent or I might have done it taking it off the frame but it had a lot to do with the bad fit. I still have to clean up the putty some more but I went ahead and put a grey paint on it just to soak it in.
Looking good, Piper. If it's not too late, the seat should be dark red, I believe.
What do you think of the details in that pit? I thought they were quite nice. :)
Was able to get the pit done, dry fit seems good hopefully will get the fuselage together tonight.
Excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. :)
Ok paints have arrived, should be able to start again later tonight or tomorrow morning.
jeaton01 There are mask patterns on my website: http://www.yolo.net/%7Ejeaton/mymodels/spitfire/templates/SpitTemp.html The colors you need are RAF interior green for inside, RAF Dark Green and RAF Dark Earth for the top, and Sky for the bottom.

M. Brindos I would simply draw the pattern lightly with a graphite pencil. I must warn you about the fit of the canopy and windscreen glass. I think you are going to do a great job on this. :)

Thank you Sir!
I'm planning on doing the Bader version of this kit which according to the directions uses the same paints as the Lumsden version. So here goes lol I need some input and searching both here and the web I've actually become more confused with the paints needed. I'm trying to stick to MM Enamels and will be using all brush's. At this time I have sitting in my cart at ScaleHobbist RAF Interior Green and Duck Egg Blue FS35622, on hand I have Dark Green FS34079 and a couple of square bottles of Testors flat brown. Will the ones I have on hand be good for the top camo? If not what are your suggestions? Also I've seen some talk of masks for the camo and now can't seem to find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance!
