Eduard Spitfire Landing Flaps.

Hi fellas,
I recently built the Eduard Spitfire including the PE Landing flaps that come with the kit. I wanted to fit these, but had never done anything with PE to this extent before. I have to say, the idea of carving up those beautifully detailed wings was a little intimidating.
I looked on the 'net to get an idea of the job ahead, but failed to find anything that showed me the process to the end. I wanted to see if the effort was worth the work, what pitfalls there were etc, etc, etc.
I couldn't really find what I wanted, so I wrote my own.
This is a guide for a beginner, a bit like me, on how to tackle such a job. I hope I've made it easy to follow. Please feel free to leave any comments here or there on any mods you think I need to make.

Thanks for looking.

Great blog mate. Really well done. I've got a flap set for my 1/32 spit, I'm sure most of what you've done will transfer to 1/32. Thanks buddy!

You're welcome Chief. I'd like to know if it does help mate? It may have definite similarities, just on a bigger scale hey? Cool. :)
