Supermarine Spitfire Vb

The engine, as provided in the kit 

 

 

Of course, there's a a lot of plumbing for the engine.  

So U had them using fuse and electronic wire. 

The result is not that bad: the compartment is not empty anymore, but next time I will try to make more "straight" line 

The radio, through the hatch 

The dashboard, inhance by Eduard pre-painted photo-etched parts 

Starting the interior. The base of the painting is Humbrol interior green H78, followed by post-shading. 

I used some colour pencils for drybrushing scratching the painting 

New evidences show that the interior wasn't paintend after the seat bulkhead 

Si I painted it with Alclad Dull Aluminium 

The interior almost finished 

The HGW harness is a lttle tricky to build (well, you just need a steady hand. The trick is just aboud adding small P-E parts on scarcely bigger fabric band 

But it's woth the work ,as it's way better than even eduard pre-painted seatbelts 

Last shot before glueing the half fuselages together and adding things like wings
