Started Spitifre ML 407 last night, mostly painting the engine parts and those for the cockpit. Assembled the engine block and this morning assenbled the cockpit components.
Canopy and all transparent bits have been Futured.
Later, while teh last episode of Angel screens on Sky One, I'll join the fuselage halves.
This is the ICM 1/48 kit, moulded in white, which is unusal. There are a number of sink holes in strange places, like the wheel hubs and the backs of the propeller blades and there is a bit of flash present throughout the kit.
Also, the fuselage halves, when brought together form a perfect Y-shape.
However, it does give the options for dropping the flaps, opening the engine cowling completely and opening all the gun-bays.
This should be fun.
