Can't see but I snapped the rubber with 400 turns. Will replace and asking EB but thought rubber could take 3x that amount |

10 deg dihedral |

Wing dihedral check. Strengthened wing root with spar, gussets, guide pins. Stock kit wing root very weak. Hope this helps! |

| Thanks, the stock green tissue is opaque and goes well with the translucent light blue. Just a sharp pair of scissors. EB gave me light blue. Light gray would be more scale. |

| Very smooth cuts in the green camouflage paper. No jagged edges. Looks like it was masked and painted. Very good. |

| Excellent job. That's part of modeling, is the challenges that we bring upon ourselves to replicate a model we feel deserves "more." The wing fillet is a good example. Very good build. |

Dihedral and fitting |

| Sky, you are right on it. The EB model fuselage is curved at the wing fillet whereas the actual is straight. The curve made me fabricate a stiff paper fillet which is not quite scale. But I enjoy the challenges. |

| Very nicely done. Real Spitfires were full of compound curves and each wing had a different sized rib. Very difficult to build and model. The wing-to-fuselage fillet were especially a challenge to replicate in model form. This is a very good job, especially considering you used two different coverings for the camouflage. |

| Flight Lieutenant Whittington to report |
| Skyediamonds1985, Comment for image # 36638 | 21 Aug 16 15:42 |
| We'll be waiting for the pilot's report. |

| The camo is using the stock green tissue over light blue. Just cut the green carefully! This is a flyer. I am checking weight and balance with goal to get at least a minute flight. |
