Hi all, this is my first build dairy so you'll all have to bare with me.
For my first build I have decided to go with my RC Deagostini Spitfire I recently acquired.
Before I started I have been through the kit and check I have all the parts and that none are damaged.

Hi Shaun,

I`m sure your diary will be fine.

There is a wealth of experience here, so should you need any advice/help then just ask.

Most of all enjoy the experience.

Looks like a great start Shaun and good presentation on the diary too. Only comment I would have is to make your images just a little smaller, this would save members having to scroll along to see all the pic.... .. Look forward to your next update...

Great start Shaun, looking forward to more and seeing a video of her flying

Hi guys thanks for your supports and kind words.
Alan, I can see what you mean about the photos being a bit big, hopefully I've figured out how to resize them how using window 10 , still used to windows 7 that I use at work .
davetwin, going to be a while till I get to fly her, got to get myself a trainer plane and learn to fly first
Hopefully there will be any update later today (with resized pics I hope )
Regards Shaun

Hi everyone its time for issue 3 of my build ,
hopefully the pics will be a more reasonable size this time
in issue 3 I have bulkheads 4 and 5, the servo base(not use in this issue), three strings and a front tyre.

first off as before all parts are sanded with 240grit to remove any rough edges.
Next glue is applied to the two fuselage side where bulkhead 4 will fit.

bulkhead 4 so then put in place and clamped,
while bulkhead 4 same setting I when ahead and glued bulkhead 5 to the ends of the fuselage and clamped into place

after this glue was applied to the three notches at the top of the bulkhead and a stringer are fitted in to each one and clamped until the glue is dry,

last off the tyre was fitted to the rim assembled in issue 2 with the aid off a pair of tweezers,

that's it for issue 3, all that remains is to cut the stringer off lever with the bulkheads when the glue dries.

thank you all for looking in and any advice would be much appreciated . The pics size is now set to 660 x 495 pixels, if this is still to big I will resize them just let me know.

Regards Shaun

Hi Steve thanks for your comments
Unfortunately it still going to take a few months to complete as I am just starting my busy season at work and probably only be able too work on the kit every other weekend . Still I'll work on it when I can and keep everyone posted on my progress

Regards Shaun

Coming along at a pace Shaun well done.
