SPA Modeler

This was the last model purchased (Italeri but a rebox of Hasegawa).

I have had many difficulties in finding photos of the models proposed by Italeri . The scheme I intend to do is the Box-Art but all the pictures I've seen indicate an airplane with the propeller of four blades.

If I do not get images that indicate me if has or not a propeller with three blades (or a propeller with four blades because I know that Hasegawa has one) I will make a version that has not participated in D-Day with a sheet of decals from Hasegawa.

The box.



Sprues.



Decals.



What I've done. I glued the wings.





I glued the parts of the fuselage and fix lines of the panels.





After a test fitting Wings and fuselage fit well but when joined wings with the fuselage did not please me much. Some extra work in the union of the wings with the fuselage.

Off to a good start!

That does look like a nice kit.

A subject on my short list. I look forward to your progress...

After I stopped a long time with the Typhoon, in these last two weeks was the only model on the bench. I have a P-40 in 1/32 scale but is still waiting for Eduard mask.

Finished interior. The pilot's seat awaits the placement of seat belts.









I painted the wells and the doors of the landing gear and landing gear.







I glued the wings to the fuselage and redid some lines.







It's all for now.

This began with a «Let's see how it looks». If staying bad, a cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol and everything would be again ready for painting, but not the D-Day. These limits on curved surfaces scared me a lot. Often avoid buying models that only bring the decorations for the Day D. If a certain Spitfire Eduard.

After much tape spends painting of white and black stripes it's over. I think that the stripes were not bad.

The photos.

A fine job on the stripes. I can't help but think of my grand mothers ironing board every time I see an early Hawker wing.

Nothing to complain on the stripes! I just remember a wartime picture showing some of these has been hastily applied using a broom...
