Paul, I love your attention to the small features and the straightforward solutions that really clean up these problem areas on the kits. Thanks once again for another great video!
I think Airfix should give you a call.😉
Thanks again for yet another informative and thoroughly helpful video.
I've got one of those XIVs in my stash. This series has given me some options for when the time comes to build it.
I do really like the Griffon Spits. The engine noise, the longer slightly drooping nose. No pigeon chest. They're like the muscle car version of the Spitfire.
Thank you for your videos, to be honest they are my favorite thing to watch on RUclips. Cheers!!
Great stuff.. In the middle of building PCM's 14c in 32 when I wanted some references (as it's soft in panel lines etc), so got a Airfix FR 14 and Eduard's Viii to compare etc - and I've ended up building those 2 as well.. Been looking for a 14c in 48 and like you the sad Academy is all I could fined (and your blog). I think I'll do exactly as you have with a Eduard 8 + Airfix griffin, tail and air boxes.. thanks for the details and advice... Keep on!!
Thanks for this final part of the Spitfire XIV series. Very informative as the rest have been.
Awesome work, Doc! I pick up a few techniques with every video you share with us. Thank you!
Great video. I would love to see next steps: recreating surface details and painting.
A master craftsman recreates a masterpiece.
As always interesting and informative.I click immediately when ‘Scale model workshop’, pops up.
Very enjoyable. I'm a big fan of your focus on getting the airframe right.
Well done as usual sir. Appreciate your assessment of the 14 kit and the options available for kitbashing an early Mk. 14. Look forward to seeing your finished products.
Love your attention to detail.
Merlins purr. Griffons growl. Outstanding work.
Excellent appraisal,by someone who knows his stuff.
Very interesting indeed!
A lot more involved than the really small 1/144 examples l have built!
I think l will start the other two l have left to do now❤😎👍!
I love your angle on model kits. You must be an engineer.
Excellent video Paul thanks 👍
Increíble trabajo te felicito. Desde Costa Rica,
Superb job!
Gotta have tht electrical round blade tool...a must for conversion geek 😎
Great work!
Thanks for posting! As always grately impressed by your work. I did not get the name of the scuplting material used for the rear gear doors. Would you mind sharing that name again or a link for it?
He says 'hydrocal'.
@@TheCimbrianBull Thanks
Excellent attention to detail. I'm an Englishman who has never eaten mushy peas - but I'm the only one I know!
awesome like a Pro ¡¡ One day I want to convert kits as you do ¡¡¡
Forgot to thank you for the tip regarding Hydrocal. I see it’s available at the big box home improvement stores. What type of dental tool were you using to shape the plaster and how long does one have to work Hydrocal before it’s prohibitively hard? Thank you Dr. Budzick.
Working time depends on the product, but you usually have 5 to 10 minutes after it starts to set and get firm.
@@scale-model-workshop Thank you Dr. Budzick. Appreciate the tip.
At this point, I'd watch this fella build a snowman to see where he goes with it
ROFL! 🤣 😂 😅
Great. At least now I known I can bin the XIX.
Does this hydrocal plaster shrink at all?
No ... that's why we use it in dentistry to pour up our impressions.
Mushy peas. A delicacy best served with fish and chips preferably by the sea.
I’m very proud to be living near the place where the Snyder trophy spitfire was made and the first spitfire was designed, made and flown, the rest is history.....
Marc’s Fx Snyder trophy Spitfire ? There was never a seaplane version of the Spit. ? In fact there is no Snyder Trophy !
The Supermarine S.6B is a British racing seaplane developed by R.J. Mitchell for the Supermarine company to take part in the Schneider Trophy competition of 1931
@@leedove7255 What Marcfx said, shortly after the '31 Schneider Trophy competition the British Air Ministry put forth Directive F7/30. Mitchel was a race plane guy, and getting Supermarine to be a fighter/interceptor producing company was a task that nearly crushed the company on more than just 1 occasion. Mitchell didn't live to see the first production Spitfire roll out to Dunkirk, though he did hold out the fight against cancer long enough to see the flight testing take place and the RAF take the initial order of Spitfire Mk.1's. The initial air worthy prototype flew just 4 months after the prototype of the Hawker Hurricane took to the air. The first initial production Spitfire Mk.1, model K9787, didn't roll of the factory floor of Supermarine's Woolston factory until May 1938, a nearly full year after Mitchell passed away.
The Spitfire and the Supermarine company owe everything to the competition victory in 1931, breaking the world speed record 17 days later, the BAM's directive, and both Mitchell's determination and the effort of the floor workers to get the Mk.1 flying. The S.6B IS the very reason the Spitfire exist, and... it was a floatplane. . .
As a result of the 1931 competition, Mitchell gained the award of "Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" from George V.
I have the supermarine spitfire MK XIV is it something worth?
how do you get the trailing edge of a wing so sharp?
Amazing skill and craftsmanship as usual, but you shouldn't have to totally re-engineer a kit because the manufacturer cannot be bothered to make it properly. Most modellers will probably admire your skill, but steer clear of this model altogether. Shame on Airfix, this kit is not something they can be proud of, and not to the standard of their other recent releases.
