Thanks so much, Kevin! I see a beautiful 1/48 Eduard Spitfire project in your future! I almost went looking for a 1/48 Otaki-Airfix kit from 1975 today. Almost.

Steamers. baths. Masking tape..?

Just saying...

LOL Stuart! I am planning to use glue on the wing roots to adhere the fuselage to the top wing sections. I am debating whether to use CA or Mr. Cement! So there. Get ready for some sniffing!

A trop one with American markings none the less!

That.....looks friggin cool!

Profile for this project... hopefully Kevin will be starting his Trop version in a few days...

Looking forward to seeing that!

I think I am going to use white glue to temporarily tack the aircraft together then paint my dark earth mix which is basically Gunze tan... then flip her and paint the belly white. Then take stock of seams again.

Sounds like a plan!
