Eduard Spitfire XVI 1/48 - Finished

Attempting a bit of detailing with the addition of a Brassin engine set. Hopefully opening it up will go smoothly.

Until it arrives, begun work on the cockpit:

I like it. I really need to try one of those Eduard Spitfire kits. They look awesome

It’ll be cool to see an Eduard kit go together.

Bit more done. Toying with the idea of adding some pipework detailing…thoughts?

Excellent attention to detail. I’d love to see the AM engine!

Cool! I have this Dual Combo kit. I will definitely be following along! Nice job on the office!

Looking really good! Is that Intrument Panel PE? Detail there is great!

Oh nice start so far. I built the Mk. VIII, and it’s one of my favorite kits ever. I have been toying with the idea of the XVI, so I’m watching this with interest. I can’t wait to see the engine.

Youre doing great so far!

This week has been mostly taken up with work on the engine…slow but steady.

Great work in the pit and engine, I can’t wait to see more.

That is awesome

Great looking engine.

It’s comming along nice. I own the Dual Combo P-39 kit, so it will be fun watching this go together and may give me some incentive to break my kit out. (although I have 3 project going on now).

The molding on the engine is excellent! Very crisp!

Outstanding Merlin. Your gonna love this kit.

Almost 3 weeks in and the engine is slowly getting there.

Hopefully ready to get back to the main bit of the kit by the end of the weekend,

Nice!

Very nice work on the cockpit and engine [Y]

Ugh…just when things were going so well…

In the finishing straight with the engine. Took the plunge and removed the front section of the fuselage…great - good fit too.

Then, as i was attaching one of the last few bits of wiring…I dropped the engine. Only onto the carper but enough to fracture 4 or 5 of the attachment points I’d painstakingly glued.

I maybe sometime… [:'(]
