Right this is a kit I nabbed at a market last week.The plastic is quite soft and the detail is quite fine.

Keep your cool, don't let it get the best of ya. Let us know what you're running into, maybe someone has seen the same problem.

Here is a update.
Tryin to fix a few fit dramas. :angry:

The gun bay panel's have sunk a little here.

These could have been left open if you wanted to detail the bay's up.
Yeh I know,the wing root's a little ruff.( I accidently glued tape in there trying to fill a gap )
That's next to fix. :gogo

The engine and frame were a tad to big so a small gap was left at each join.
I used Mr Hobby Dissolved Putty for the first time,it's good stuff for small job's.

[moon puppy]

Glad to see you staying at it. :dude

 

[buddho]

A great start...

 

[Plastik Smurff]

A bit of paint.

Time for some clear then we will see if the decals are anygood,they look a little yellow. :S

 

[Adam]

Coming along nicely. Once cure for yellowed decals is to hang them in a widow for a few days and let the sun bleach them out.

 

[moon puppy]

Oh man, I missed this. Really looking good so far.

 

[jknaus]

Very cool. Does that cam ever stand out from normal Spitfire markings. Well done so far
