 Firstly I would never have thought I would get my hands on this beautiful kit, how lucky was I ? The Typhoon should be finished in a couple of days and I've been eagerly waiting to crack this open I'll show you a few photos of what's in the box as the detail is mind blowing Kicking off in a few days |

I had a look in the box the other day and it's big, I'll tell you a bit more when I get this thing moving
The cockpit is a kit on it's own, the decals for the instrument panel dial are all individual decals

That is one big beautiful score. It is going to be a grand ride watching you build this epic gem. Our local LHS owner has been shamelessly tempting all of our club members with this. LOL!

It is reputed to be the best Spit in any scale. There are some really nice 1/48's out there so their work is cut out for them. |

Right we are off There are lots of parts and duplicate, but, very similar parts so you must get the right part for the option you have chosen As usual starts in the cockpit, bit more in here than the 1/72 eh  Loads of little holes to drill out but take care as there are three different size holes  There are some pin marks on the back of this which will never be seen. I think this kit is all about taking your time and don't rush  |

They put the pin marks on the BACKSIDE of the part. I dunno why more manufacturers don't follow this example. Very good progress so far. |

Blimey Robmeister, you snuck this one in under the radar.
Splendid choice, really looking forward to this.

Thank for joining chaps Done a bit more sticking tonight but need to start painting so I'll leave it there I've got Tamiya cockpit green but it looks lighter than the colour they show in the instructions, will it be good for this. I bought it for the Spitfire I done ages ago? Other than the seat the rest is mostly dry fitted You get a choice of instrument panel, one to paint and fit decals to the dials, that's what I've gone for, or one to paint the dials yourself  |
