That may well work - you'd have to tack the intake in place as well, but that's probably the way to go.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 13, 2026 4:51 pm Do what I do… tack’em down with blue putty, paint and then take them off. Resume with attaching the main struts.

Re: Tamiya 1/48th Supermarine Spitfire mk.I
Ahhhhhh…. 
Let’s just say that I’ve been worried about that sort of thing since a couple of my builds caught wind, achieved lift, then hit the concrete in between my build area and paint area… it wasn’t like Toy Story…. No falling with style, just falling… 
that’s when I learned to do micro surgeries…

Well I'm a bit behind Tom but the painting is done and it's had a gloss coat ready for some decals.

In progress - 610 (County of Chester) squadron, Royal Auxiliary Air Force. I like these marking as, being an Englishman trapped in Wales, Chester is only 1/2 an hour drive from where I live, and I tend to go there when I need a dose of England. There's a plaque on the wall of Chester Cathedral in memory to the Squadron.
