If you need any more inspiration watch the movie "Dunkirk " the dogfight scenes involving spitfires are truly the best there is and the ending scene had every one I know in tears why and how does this aeroplane still invoke such deep emotion but it does all the best again mate mark
Imaginative yet very systematic and thorough job of conversion Dr. Budzick. Would have expected no less from you. I appreciate your sharing this procedure to push us to think about better ways to do conversions preserving accuracy and detail in the process. I would have just started sawing at panel lines to try to mate up the constituent parts and then try to make the resulting Frankenstein look acceptable by smoothing the joins and restoring surface details. Your approach would seem to preserve dimensional fidelity and accuracy. I look forward to the finished product. Thank you.
Love this series. So many neat ideas and techniques being shown. You pulled the Air Fix model back from paint mule status and that isnt easy! Looking forward to the next video in the series.
I worked on a model that needed a lot of scratch work. I had it sitting around since 1970 but never built. Once I started to get into it I knew why what a mess. But my model of the K-61-1 came out great just took a lot of scratch work. I was always afraid to do this until I watched your video a few times before I decided to bite into my model.
Thanks a lot for the video, you inspire me to not build things out of the box and bite the bullet doing modifications that I’m not sure if they are going to work, but they are very satisfying when they do (^_^)
Thank you for sharing another great video. Do you plan to re-enable the option to message you through your website some time in the future? I have a modelling question I could really use your help with. Either way, I really appreciate the work you put into your videos. They're absolutely top notch. I've learned so much since finding your channel a few weeks ago.

Probably because more speed make more lift force in wings, so to avoiding the continuos correction during levelled fly they put the engine a little bit down nose! Cheers
Great video from the absolute master! I guess the same mod can be done with an Eduard Mk. XVI bubble top to get a much better model. I want a Mk. XVIII that served in Palestina and Egybt as a counterpart to the Mk.IXe Velvetta of the IAF.
Thanks so much for this video Paul! Used several of your tips and techniques in doing a Mk.XIVe from the Eduard Mk.VIII and Airfix FR Mk.XIV, and it worked out great (ua-cam.com/video/iGe2aysykQI/v-deo.html). Wouldn't have had the courage to attempt the kit bash (especially as my first kit bash) without your videos! :-)
Total myth. Apparently there's a heap of Mk. VIII's buried in NSW Australia too and a heap of buried Spitfires at the airport in Burma. Drunk exservicemen tell lots of stories
You always make it look so easy in your calculated approaches, and thank you for the dual pronunciation of aluminium!
Hallelujah 👍🏼
I never fail to be amazed by your work; it’s always a pleasure to watch and learn from you. I look forward to the next episode. Thanks.
Looking really good Paul
As always . simple, straight forward & to the point. Thank you.very instructive
I never tire of your videos. Great job.🙏
I don't even dabble with scale models anymore, but you're video's have tempted me.
I build only cars and love to modify them a lot, but I always get something out of your videos. What a great inspiration .... thank you for sharing.
Really nice and neat, great inspirational work all the best from the UK " home of the spit"
I understand from the RAF Museum site that it is the "Year of the Spitfire".

wow that attention of detail

Doc, you are also an artist and master fabricator! thanks for the video Richaed
Excellent build, Paul. I was toying with the idea of using an ICM kit as a donor but overtrees are so affordable and have much better details.
Another in a long line of great videos, Paul! You really do do amazing work!
I'm enjoying this series a lot. Very impressed with your conversion work and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished builds.

Another excellent video thanks Paul 👍
I always look forward to your amazing and informative produced videos 😎
As ever...Excellent work and a joy to watch👍
another very enjoyable and informative, Paul. Thanks once again!
Brilliant conversion, really enjoying this series.

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. ;)
So we will have two Mk. XIV's. Nice! I already place my bet on the second one.
Can’t wait to see the next video
Wonderful..so glad I found your channel

Fantastic work.
Magnificent!

Very nice and useful .Thanks so much.
Interesting, I always wondered why the thrust line on the XIV pointed downwards.
Probably because more speed make more lift force in wings, so to avoiding the continuos correction during levelled fly they put the engine a little bit down nose!

Pure genius
superb
I noticed the power tool you are using for the cutting isn't the Dremel Stylo you reviewed some time ago. What power tool are you using now?
I never use the Stylo, or any other Dremel. I just bought it for the review ... Here is what I use ... ua-cam.com/video/L1bFscCJjh8/v-deo.html

Hey, there’s 50 of them, oiled, wrapped, an buried in the Pacific islands. Remember that ?
Total myth.

uh!
