    Well I know that the others not finished yet but let s prepare ourselves for an another project ; this is new Revell s Bf-109G10 Erla built.
    I did not liked Revell s cockpit. So I decided to use Aires cockpit set. That s great.
    Cockpit components painted to RLM66.
    The fuel line that runs along the starboard sidewall is provided as a clear part by Revell and it is using in Aires set.

    A finger exercise while the paint of the Spitfire dries?
    The dry brushing (I assume ...) comes out great.

    🙂 Yes we can consider this a kind of exercise. I hope that this project will proceed as easy as an exercise
    Second "yes" for drybrushing. it s applied.
    Seat belts added. Other cockpit components painted, drybrushed and installed.
    I think it s ready for the installation into the fuselage

    At least in 32nd scale, your fine detail work won't be totally lost...nice job as usual.

    Looks good, Tolga. Hope you have better luck fitting Aries cockpit than I have had. On one kit I had to sand the cockpit walls so thin you could nearly see through them, and still a tight fit for the resin!

    I hope so Rob, thanks
    Fitting test does not indicate a problem for this time being.

    Due to lack of detail on the air scoops, I decided to replace them with Barracudacast goodies

    Great job on the cockpit Tolga! What brand paints did you use? It really appears as if it's metal.

    Paint used in the cockpit is from Tamiya acrylics XF-63. After painting oil paint wash and dry brushing applied.

    Cowling and the wings attached.
    It needs some sanding on the tail section meaninglessly..

    There are (meaningless) reinforcement strips on the surface of the wings and horizontal tails. These strips are the subject of the unique restored aircrafts. (Remember Tamiya s 1/48 SpitfireMkVb s reinforcement strips over the wheel bay area) I deleted them by sanding easily.

    And I ordered oil cooler fairing set from Barracudacast. You can see the difference between the ugly and inaccurate kit part and the Barracudacast s resin fairing.
