Building the Spitfire

Amazing! Congratulations for the paint job! I think this is the most perfect finished printed plane I have seen.

BTW: Do you know the color code (RAL) for the bright stripe around the fuselage right before the tail. I think it’s a kinda greenish white, but not sure.

Added a coat of satin varnish +30-40gr. Protects the paint and adds an amazing finish. Really happy how it went together. Ready for the maiden now.

Looks absolutely stunning Pandjarov – congratulations on a fantastic finish.

Please be sure to let us know how the maiden flight goes.

That is a beautiful plane, the best painted 3D plane I’ve seen. I love your finish, any chance you could share the details – sand, filler, sand and repeat? Paint type? I’ve started a P-38in clear (I love seeing the engineering), but will definitely have to try this, at 1.7m it should be the perfect practical size, I look forward to hearing about the flight. Good luck! Tim

Hello,
How did you make the transparent cabin?

[maciejParticipant]

Hello,
How did you make the transparent cabin? This is 3d print?

[Ralph KozakewichParticipant]

Nice finish. What’s your finish process?

[rodger.chalkParticipant]

How did you do the clear canopy?

[Burton HookerParticipant]

Beautiful! How did you get the canopy to come out so clear? Did you vacuum form one yourself or is that printed? If printed what filament did you use?
