Hi Guys,

Thanks for the information…my architecture teacher from me told me: “sometimes you need to do things wrong to let it look right”

Probably this is an example of what the man was teaching me.
All the rivets…must be almost impossible to put on a small scale Spitfire…and when you want the correct size then it would be like hell…so I will make all my rivets 1mm in diameter and some 1,5mm.

@ Brian: Did you received my PM?

Started as MK V and at the end it was MK IX, during the war these guys got to be very drunk or stoned or thinking about their wifes…no idea, but something went wrong… 😉 :dev2:

I’m happy this happenend because this is something that makes the lady very special and maybe one of a kind…almost like my wife. 😀

When I’m at the point of no return then I mean start with the rivets, at that moment I will post a few pictures if you want.

Regards and have a nice weekend.
Tom

Hi Brian,

To bad you couldn’t get the other side…there had to be security agents, because when I look at this picture the tailwheel and the other retracts are stolen. 😉

I will send you a PM.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Hi James,

Interesting question…did MH434 had different rivets over the years???
Who got the answer for this one.

I love MH434 in the version he is now…when I want to fly competition then it would be the best to build it the way he is at the moment.
But maybe one day i would like to build a version of it in Belgium trainer colors…silver with yellow bands around the fuselage and wings.
Difference with this one also is that it was LF version, with clipped wings…not sure if that is good when you fly it remote controlled…nevertheless I could give it a chance one day…

Thanks for the information…

Regards,
Tom

@ Mike Curril: No problem for the question, very good question now I have the answer too and a nice picture of it. 😉

@ mackerel: It’s not that I want to make a MK9, I want to make MH434…but on the other hand I think when I make a MK9 then i have more potentional on paintschemes…anyway decission is made it will be MH434…reason why I’ve chosen this one too is because it was in service in the Belgium airforce…under the nr. SM41, also love that paintscheme.

The book you’re talking about, I have that one…very nice book with alot of pictures!!!
But indeed no raised rivets on this plane.

So the rivet in my scale would be around 1mm…hmm hard to make I supose…
Maybe i need to do this with glue…or with Lithoplate and kind of a mold to make them…

Are there on the market 1mm rivets??
Don’t have experience with this.

I’m sure Brian is at the best place you can be on a day like this. 😀

Tom

Hi Brian,

Hey don’t forget to take another card for the other side of the plane…and if you can go under the plane you need a 3th card. 😀

THANKS MAN!!!!

Hi Mondariz,

That’s what I’m talking about…lovely picture!!!
Indeed I would like to have the whole fuselage on both sides, because there could be a difference.

Do you have this picture in high resolution?

Correct that row is different then the others…interesting!!!

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Roxeth,

I don’t mean the roundels, I mean rivets…hope this is good Englisch.

Raised Rivets and Flush rivets.
MH434 has Raised Rivets behind cockpit…would like to put them on my scale Spitfire, so I need detail pictures.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Just sign in because I always loved this Spitfire, one day I want to build one in scale 1/5.
Some of the pictures here I’ve never seen and I love that three view.

Another of my favorit racers is the H1b from Hughes.

Thanks
Tom
