1/33 Supermarine Spitfire Beer Truck XXX Modification

[airdave]

Cockpit is done (for the Spitfire)

Just did a test build today and all looks well.
Only a couple of small tweaks needed.

Heres some early photos before I made final adjustments.
Its always tricky adding a cockpit into a kit that wasn't originally designed for a cockpit tub.
This Spitfire wasn't too much of a problem,
however the center fuselage connection is a little more fiddly to get together.
(I found adding a second internal former behind the rear cockpit area helped me,
but I'm sure others will find their own way through the assembly)



The cockpit will be added to all future Spitfire models...but, if you have already purchased
the "Beer Truck Spitfire", you can get the Cockpit kit for free from my website and at Paper Model Shop Home

I'm sure this kit will fit my earlier Spitfire models too.
The recent redraw of this model hasn't really altered the basic template of the plane.
So there is no reason why it can't be fitted with minimal effort.

I printed this model at 1:24, including the new cockpit and it enlarged very well.

Just thought that others might find this useful/interesting .
