1/48 Arii spitfire LF MK VIII A58-517 "Finished"

[destrozas.]

As already discussed in other forums and I placed the little progress of this aircraft and now I will post here.
the plane:
Is spitfire LF MKVIII "UP-F" enrolled A58-517 was originally MT594 although the RAF, was framed in the RAAF 79º sqn, had as a art-nose dumbo pink, with the legend "Hava-go jo" the pilot F / Lt Norm Smithells, will make the decoration which has had the support according to the typical photographic foliage green, dark sea grey and sky blue belly and white markings on the wings and tail, set in February 1945 in Morotai .
the kit:
As I have been able to put the mold is the same that had Otaki in the early 70s, which means that interior is emptier than a day without plastic, which touched me work hard inside, trying to take advantage inside that brings if possible thing that is not so, but check the position mnada control panel to see inside this too 4 mm high, so I removed everything and built with plastic scraps.
Since I have Icm kit that comes with two models spitfire and 4 variants there are many pieces that I have plenty, to make matters worse, for my birthday a friend gave me another Spitfire MK VC eduard so many pieces left over by the gravure and I use resin parts to support the work of the interior.
I put the pictures I have for now as you have new pictures of the progress I put it.

the model:
started doing the cockpit floor



Start placing lines for control panels, detailing some floor





To relax the eyes of the lens (I get dizzy with magnifier for my nearsightedness), I get to do all the side carrying bag and frame as it should be to take action and to make parts while the caulk dries.



See also reviewing cutting the rib behind the pilot's seat is not because I do it because it will look much whether this or missing



I have more done but I have not made ​​relevant photos when you finish the fuselage side I put the photos.

Nice progress, I almost built a Willow (japanese biplane trainer) from arii and the fit was nice. And, as you are showing, the details can be built with some plastic and patience

Good job Sergio

Holy smokes! Great job building the cockpit from scratch! Sorry I missed your earlier posts and it will not happen again.

Keep it coming...

[modelfreak72]

That is some sweet scratch work! ;D

[destrozas.]

not that great, really.
I am not being able to have more time, or space, for my models but that if I am delighted to see that you like what little I can do.

[destrozas.]

Difficult times that I have, the work is harder every day, the new iso to implement in the company has been the most complicated thing and I'm administratively rather person field (factory floor) and live dispatch that after computer, even on my days off I had to go to advance trabajops for audits and machine scheduling to meet the points of a change in the regulations, which has left me little time for anything else, even so I could do something else on the plane and other projects.
I put some pictures a few months after my last entry.

[Mence]

Wow, long time since I have seen an Arii kit built and you're doing a great job, keep it coming :)

[bullardino]

What a nice progress Sergio

I hope you will have more bench time, I'm really enjoying the build

[thug626]

Wow! You were not kidding about the interior being bare. A great job with the scratch building. I especially like the hoses.

[fightnjoe]

looks good. i have not had luck with the salt technique. yours looks good.



joe

[destrozas.]

thanks guys, I'd like to have time to continue with the non tenre modeling or cravings so eager to see the models on display. That brings me to undertake fault Dumber.
fightnjoe salt technique is very simple but also very easy to make a mistake, seeing a very exaggerated chip is easier to solve given that not all reach the metal chips but can be paint wear and a or two light coats of paint will solve part of the problem.
thug626is what you have a scale so I build a few 1/48 almost everything I usually do is to 1/72 and although hardly see the interior details make almost identical soil unless it very difficult to get material to work hose 1/4 "to imitate 1/72 is complicated by the incimo to size it is.
I can bring you some more advance lifting the aircraft liveries are painted with support from the photos I've taken have rreunir scale and a compass to cut circles I have done, first the white and then the blue.






the blue spinner much controversy led me to find the color that would, with the help of some friends I could find was this blue color.
I also painted the engine exhaust was still fresh when I paint pictures





so did the focus of the center circle

[bullardino]

Very nice progress, Sergio

[fightnjoe]

still looking very good from here.




joe

[Mence]
