70th Anniversary Battle of Britain GB - 2010

Nice work, looking forward to seeing progress on the Spitfire.

I put the decals on tonight, here are the progress pictures up to that point.  I did some more work on my Spitfire painting templates, set them up for both A and B patterns and for Malcolm hood or bubble canopy

Some pictures:

Nice work on the masking, The colors look great. Hope to see the Spitfire in decals soon.

Nice job on the Spitfire.

I'll be back soon with some update pics on the big Stuka, as it's about 99% finished!

Thanks, Karl and Mobious.

Here it is finished.  Comments and criticism welcome, but not about that stupidly thick antenna wire.  I need to stretch the e z line down to a thinner diameter but hate it when I go too far and it bends the mast the next day.

I have wanted to do a series of 19 Squadron airplanes so I did Brian Lane's airplane with the yellow spinner and white K code letter.  Hope I got the right side letters placed right.  I know they are in the right grouping and sequence, but I'm not sure about the roundel placement.  Now that it is done I'm sure a brilliantly clear photo of that side will surface. 

I also reworked my templates so they also cover the Malcolm Hood airplanes, A and B patterns, samples at the end and anyone that would like a copy just ask and I'll send them as jpegs.

Pictures:

John, super work, and I would love a set of those templates. I'll PM you with my email addy.

Congrats of a top build!

Thanks, templates should be there in your e-mail.

I put the templates on my web site, here are the links.  Right click and save the jpegs to your system.

John well done on a very nice build, I did the very same aircraft for this group build myself. The templates look great, thanks for the links, I'll pop by and grab some.
