That is a terrific photo! I'm still hard-pressed to believe it's 1/72!
That's great Mike! I'm very excited to follow along with this as my personal preference is to build modern "warbirds" rather than in-service machines, and I'm interested to see your approach to this rather well-known (and so well-documented) aircraft.Nice work Mike, and a great subject for a build. And you have some nice recent colour photos to base your build on as well! Lovely start btw.
Hi Nigel,
Yes I got the OK from David Bremner to walk around 1264 in the hanger at the Shuttleworth collection at Old Warden, Bedforshire.
So plenty of external and internal shots for reference,
Mike
upper decking, then the top fuselage. I'll need some spreader bars in between the sides to match the outline of the top, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue.Good thinking. I failed to check the fit on my VII and as a result became very discouraged with the result, and all the filling and sanding I did to try and rectify the issue. I'm so pleased you realised there would be an issue and have a fix to avoid my problem!
Oh my Rick, that is just beautiful. Top shelf work, sir!
Cheers,

I saw this one in the flesh at the weekend at a model show in the UK, and it looks fabulous up close.Cheers Nigel
Outstanding work, and a very striking build. I like those extra touches you've added, they certainly add to the realism of the overall end result.
Cheers!

Many thanks Brad
