I always look at the top cowling and that one looks good!

How many projects are you working on? Do you sleep sometimes?

Looking great Steve! She'll be a joy to fly.

Led, dont tell him he's allowed to sleep! we've just convinced him he only needs to eat once a day so he has more time to build planes, this whole sleep thing will take up far to much time.


great work as usual Steve, she's looking really nice.

regards Rob.

 

[Led Zeppelin]

yeah, looked at a few conversion candidates and not all had the flattened cowling top. Looks just plain wrong when its too rounded.

Do you sleep sometimes?

Naw, I sleep a lot and eat a lot. Been doing this for years and I keep things simple. I am practically on autopilot

 

[Cuttles]

Professional job!

 

[Animal]

Looking good! Yes, that cowling is a key feature of the MkVIII. It represents the larger engine components used late in the war.

some adaption to fit Clive's upgraded Spitfire mk1 VC to this model. Not perfect but workable.

 

[hairyspin]

Lovely work Steve!

 

[Pat Pattle]

Looks a good fit Steve, needs the later spade grip with 2 way gun button though (I think).

 

[hairyspin]

Good catch Clive, and the camera button:–

 

[sdsbolt]

ok, added those parts though they're a bit simplified

 

[Pat Pattle]

Fab Steve, quick work!
