Spitfire strikes again! Spitfire Mk.I 1/48 from Eduard part 2 

Sorry but, what did you mean?🙂

@@my_models_oficial Don't worry mate. This was a GREAT how NOT to. Do your own thing, post it, but I won't be watching. *1st and last view of your 'work'. Regards from Sydney.

I just don't know what is fuel tank armour, that's all. I want to improve my builds so, i'm askimg you

@@my_models_oficial I did post a reply and went to some lengh to explain what I picked up on. However, it has 'disappeared' since I read it back to a friend last night. Do your research and use reference photo's showing noticeable features of whatever the project you're involved in so you are familiar with the nuances and features. Check tbe kit parts for a dry - fit before gluing and read the instructions thoroughly and examine the parts as you do THEN put it together. Kind regards and thanks RU-vid or whoever erased my original, friendly and lenghty reply yesterday after you asked.

@@my_models_oficial Attempt to communicate with you *3. The Mk1 to MkIX & MkVIII have a VERY noticeable raised panel - line where the armour covers the fuel tank which on ALL Spitfire's is immediately forward of the cockpit & windshield. It is well defined especially along the fuselage sides and is well 'proud' (sticks out) of the forward fuselage where I've described and where you sanded it away. Eduard as with Tamiya, have reproduced the ENTIRE Spitfire fuselage so accurately and have brilliantly reproduced the best Spitfire kits on the market. No-one will ever produce any kit as well as the Eduard & Tamiya offerings of ANY aircraft they market. Eduard do all marques if the Spitfire in 1/48 scale. Tamiya do the Mk1 in 1/48 & MkIXc & MkVIII in 1/32 scale. You should consult reference photo's of period aircraft in the field of combat during WWII, steer clear of pic's of restored aircraft. There are some VERY good build's posted on RU-vid so I suggest that you check out a few other build's. There are no shortage of image's of any warbird or subject matter online. I do advise you, again, to closely examine the instructions thoroughly and identify, inspect, familiarize and then 'dry - fit' most major components prior to gluing anything. Take note of all the panel line detail on your subject... like the seamless, one - piece forward upper engine - cowling. Again, feel free to delete this reply to YOUR question and I hope you evolve and gain skill, experience and joy from your build's. Sincere and warm regards to you from Sydney mate 🤙
