Hello there! I've been doing a lot of research using Britmodeller! 1/48 scale is too fiddly for my needs. I did buy a Tamiya 1/48 spitfire for background use, but I haven't assembled it yet.
I'm very familiar with those internal details, although mine are twice the size at 1/24 and still a bit small!
I'm in a bit of a landslide at the moment, with a bunch of half completed models.
My mk99 is almost ready for painting, but I realised I needed a tractor to pull it out of the hanger -oops! I need a Hanger first! I might as well bash out some Nissen huts while I'm at it too!
I'm also making a 1/12 scale nose section with spinning prop, for a scene featuring an oil leak!
I'm quite happy with all the stuff underway, but I'll be happier when it's finally camera ready.
Here are some work in progress pics, but not sure if these are really blogworthy yet!
The 3D printed Spitfire is having panel lines etched in by hand.
The grey tractor is a downloaded David Brown 3D mesh model. The blue bits are pieces I've 3D modelled from scratch, to turn it into an RAF tow tug...
The hangar (pics not in order) is laser cut from 3mm MDF with a bumper 60 pack of A4 corrugated card sheets, shipped from China because they seem to have gone out of fashion in Australian craft stores!
Cheers,
Looey
