Looks beautiful Prekin. Good luck with it at your fly in. Rex

[Prekin]

Thank you Rex!! I’m happy, that I already did some sorties with my Spitfire. Once I finished another remake project before maiden flight and that was a big mistake.

[Prekin]

both national badges are done.

[Prekin]

Wings are nearly done!! Invasion stripes finished, but some last pieces of nomenclature are missing same as radiators and weathering.

Prekin, Outstanding. Best, LB

[Prekin]

Thank you LB. I did some weathering on MG ports and added patches.

[Prekin]

Nomenclature is nearly done.
Cannon muzzles added. Now I will make some weathering on them. I see I have to do some cartridge holes in wings.

[Elbee]

Prekin. again, nicely done, Sir. Best, LB

[Prekin]

Nearly done whole painting job. Invasion stripes I done minutes ago. Now I can add exhaust stacks and do some light weathering.
I had to put fuselage back on wings and add elevator to see her in one piece!

[Elbee]

Prekin, of course you did.... She's getting close to finish, yeah? Great Work, Sir, Best, LB

[Prekin]

Prekin, of course you did.... She's getting close to finish, yeah? Great Work, Sir, Best, LB

Correct LB. Close to finish. But only exterior. The cockpit is empty now, that will be next stage. A friend asked me to repaint his FL Corsair. What do you think. Did I agree?

[Elbee]

Not bloody likely.

[Prekin]

I put exhaust stacks back on nose and did some weathering.

[Prekin]

Main parts of exterior are done. Now I have one or two days to add some neccessary parts of cockpit. The rest of cockpit I will finish in 2 or 3 weeks.
As I mentioned before, there will not be a lot of details in cockpit. Only air tanks, pilot, instrument panel, gunsight and former behind the pilot.

Looking really nice Prekin. Rex

[Prekin]

Thank you very much Rex! I am happy you like my work!
She is not complete done, but good enough for static display. I must finish cockpit, nomenclature painting and add the rearview mirror. Tomorrow she will be only with pilot and gunsight in cockpit.
Some day ago arrived another project. Eflite FW-190 is also close to 1/7 scale, as the Spitfire. Can wait to fly them together with my son. FW-190 will also get paint shceme from summer 1944

Prekin Outstanding is all I can say. Best, LB

[Prekin]

Prekin Outstanding is all I can say. Best, LB

Thank you very much LB!!!
Now I am finishing the instrument panel.

[jetfool]

Beautiful models, Prekin. I repainted my E-Flite FW-190 a day after I received it. The stock paint scheme was totaly wrong in my opinion. Spent about 3 mo. repainting/detailing but sure looks a lot better now. Hope to get it and my Corsair maidens in this next month. Been a rainy and windy spring this May.
Best Regards, Rex

[Prekin]

Thank you Rex! From my experience I decided to do all remakes and repaints after several flights FW-190 will be probably project for next winter.
I did not see the "White 14" in real, but in my opininon it looks much better, that the Eflite P51 "Lou IV" with blue wings and fuselage.


However what we would do if the paint scheme would be perfect

[Prekin]

Back in workshop! Instrument panel is done. I will do not add missing switches and one warning light.
