Yes of course I make it in this way ,but then won't be so realistic the rivets and metal panels going to look too perfect and far from real ones.

Excellent work my friend. It looks great! I've been compairing your panel lines and rivets to images I have of the real thing and I think you did a VERY good job!

Status: offline 		You are just like me in that regards, I must have 50 books on the Bf109 and about 150 on the FW 190. Can't read enough about either.

I'm looking forward to seeing your first pulls out of the moulds!

It inspires me to do better with my builds!

Status: online 		Hi!
I asked you about aprice for a Spitfire kit some weeks ago but the price is too much at the moment (also I have two Brian Taylor 1/5 spitfires Mk1 and Mk 19 to complete first) . But I would relly like to know what brand of molding epoxy you have used (The black metal filled surface epoxy).
The molds I have made myself (props for pylonracing a engine cowls )have all been rather small and the problem I have encountered is that the black metaled filled surface epoxy has been very hard to brush out before it hardens. I have used hot air guns to soften the epoxy, but for larger moldings like your 1/4 scale Spitfire this metod doesn't seem to be a good idea. Any comments?
