Adam Banks Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Time for a Spitfire fix!!!! The FlyingIron MkIXc near Bedford (EGBF). XP11 with ORBX TEGBS: One for the rivet counters! Always so graceful: In case you missed it the first time!! That's all (for now)!! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 A wonderful sight well captured. Are those rivets or split peas! Well we have bean counters and number crunchers so split pea talliers or maybe tally hoers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducati900ss Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Very Nice shots -the Spit looks very nice - might have to put it on the 'waiting to buy' list and I have flown from that runway before it became a car park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Read where they backed off on rivet texturing in one of the initial updates - whatever, it looks just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon those rivets knock 50mph off the top airspeed! I think they're *way* overdone. I see a MkIX regularly here at airshows and don't see anything like that! I do hope FlyingIron sort it out, as it's a really attractive exterior model in every other respect. Thanks for all the nice comments, gents - I'm glad you l enjoyed the pics as much as I did taking them! I'm thinking of using one of them as my desktop background, but can't decide which one!! Probably the last one: #4. Any requests for a 1920px size for any of them? Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a 'Spitfire' video recently where they were having production problems with the specs requiring 'flush' rivets - very time consuming. One of the gal riveters came up with a fix and things started flowing smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
