That's a stunning kit, the detail is great everywhere , the research they put on those Spitfire's is amazing. You're doing a great work on yours, this will be an award winning kit for sure

I have some sad news about the owner of KB Models where this model was purchased. Kim passed away suddenly on Friday evening.
He will be sadly missed. He opened his shop at Havant 5 years ago. Anyone who visited it will know what a first class shop it was.

Sorry for the long delay chaps. I glued the undercarriage bays into place on the lower wing. Then I glued the top wing sections into place. I removed the paint from the inside of the fuselge and cockpit as I wasn't happy with the colour. Also, the thickness of paint made a difference to the parts fitting together. Those parts are waiting to be giving a coat of primer.

How many pegs is that?
New challenge; instead of rivet counting, count the pegs!!!!
PS don’t worry about the delay. You will get there!

Very sharp work on this, Joe, and no worry about delays. I set the bar pretty low on delays so we should be good.(😂😂😂)

You are in control of the wings Joe, that's some serious pegging.

Now that wing is definitely NOT going to be out of alignment! You've certainly "pegged" it Joe!

Cheers Tommy, Paul, Ian, Guy, Pete and Ian. It was a bit over the top with the pegs. But, I give you my word, that’s the only pegging I ever do. Here’s a photo with the all the pegs gone and the ailerons pushed in position.

Superb, Joe! Even from a distance the high quality panel lines and rivets are evident. Really looks like a well engineered model.
