Łukasz GlińskiI decided to add the Yahu dashboard and a resin seat, so the canopy could stay open

Łukasz GlińskiHI Guy, good to see you
So, I invested in dashboard and seat just to lose the f***ing gunsight to the carpet monster 🙁

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome, glad to see you joining, I finished today spraying the main colours

Andy BallDental work on the decals- sharpen those incisors Ł, looks really impactful now!

Łukasz GlińskiThx a lot for your support 👍
You were right A, I had to sharpen my incissors as the decal required some cuts to look like the original jaws.
In the meantime I managed to move the wheels into FUBAR status and need to order resin replacement (also because the original had covers - added the ref pic too)
Did some washing tonight too

Łukasz GlińskiWelcome my friends 🙂
So, I tried to make it dirty & sandy, I might have got carried away a bit 😄
Found interesting detail today - the prop spinner has different colour on both photos of the original I was able to find, but I'm going to stick to the white one

Łukasz GlińskiI tried to make it as grubby as I could 😄
Almost there, enjoy the teaser pics from today.
May I be able to get the 0,4mm needles tomorrow, I'm going to add them. If not, I'll skip them.
Been thinking of adding the mirror on top of the canopy, but it was meant as OOB build...
Not sure if the aerial is needed - boxart has it, but I can;t spot it on the photos - any Spitfire experts here?

Alec KGreat progress. Regarding the aerial: I can't imagine a Spit operating without a radio in desert theatre. But, just my hunch. Whether the radio antenna was supported by a mast is another question.

Łukasz GlińskiFinished the project today, so you can behold all the shortcomings 😄
I need to get a thinner thread, this one is definitely too thick.

Edward MacKenzieWow, great work on that Spitfire, Łukasz! To me it isn't creepy, it is fun!

Łukasz GlińskiOh wow, so much positive feedback, way more than I hoped for 😄 Thx a mil folks 👍
Perhaps 'looney' is a better wording, who knows? And I learned about Lenny's existence too, very educative thread it is 😄

CuajeteŁukasz!, you can use Uschi thread or even elastic lycra thread (when stretched it becomes very thin). There is also very thin fishing line, or the clasic method to make it with stretched plastic by applying heat with a flame.
Great job. Congrats!

Łukasz GlińskiMany thanks mates, Uschi is hard to get in here, but I'm in progress of procuring a new thin thread. No, I won't risk exchanging it on this Spitfire 😉
