Brilliant work! Nice job with the rivets- and the finish is admirable. I have this kit- what's so bad about it?

Thank you for posting such a beautiful build. You have a great deal of patience to do all the re-scribing and riveting, but all your work can be seen in the excellent finished aircraft.

Hi Jakub

Stunning work! That rivetting is wonderful - and I love the way you've depicted the exhaust stain. This should be a Frontpage Feature!

I'd need to check my refs, but would a Mk. IX have an aerial wire? It rings a bell from somewhere that just the mast was kept...

All the best

Rowan

Having seen your build thread gives m e even more respect for your skills- and less for the kit!

Excellent work!!! I have both kits and am in the process of working on ths "e" .... For a limited run kit its pretty good .... just have to use those modeling skills guys ... as can be seen here it turns in to a beautiful model! just my 2 pennies ... btw ... i had to put in a 1/16" shim in the nose to get the cockpit to fit and the spinner to match up which in turn cured the fuselage to wingroot gaps ... it helped A LOT anyway.
