Hi Wayne, your subtitles have summed up the build perfectly, when you said hechette, the subtitles say hashit 🤣🤣

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Lol

[@williamtrask1582]

ITS ALIVE

[@StevieBzz]

Made me laugh 😃 Get you with the funky music 😂 Lots of love from across the waves Tenerife Canary islands 🥰

[@barrywhitlock141]

Such tiny parts in this video, it is looking good and it's good to see it working

[@anthonyhoward4718]

Have started the final issues of this model, did 93 and 94 today. In all honesty I think this partworks should have come with a mental health warning! Will continue with the rest of the build tomorrow, Wednesday 4th. Like you, I am not changing the gears.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

That looks cool half built and the engine running on it - looks like an actual fighter under construction and being tested.

[@JohnsModelmaking]

This build has been so frustrating lately. My left aileron cable needs to be replaced as it stopped Operating yesterday. Top video as always Wayne.

[@twigwonderkid]

Yes mine also, now starboard aileron permanently in the up position. Just really poor

[@cornwallkev201]

Hi Wayne. You may need to have a look at the antenna wire again. It passes through the top of the antenna and then through the bottom into the Spitfire.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I did it afterwards lol

[@cornwallkev201]

Well you make mistakes so we don't have to, lol.

[@anthonyhoward4718]

Wayne. I note that you ran the flight test from the base unit. Had you changed the PCB in the base unit? And also did you use the Partworks Upgrade power unit instead of batteries?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I changed the base PCB and that was with batteries

[@williamtrask1582]

nice real nice

[@sprueVerse]

I can’t decide if this is worth the energy. Look fun though I must admit.

[@edwardbellamy6559]

going to do a car or bus any recommendations on what to build thanks

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Routemaster. Definitely

[@edwardbellamy6559]

@@WorldofWayneUK yes I have watched that on your channel and got to admit looks very good big is that with agora

[@twigwonderkid]

Wayne Sorry to tell you this but you have the same issue as me I did replace the gears and the extension cable but it doesn’t work If you look back at your test flight you’ll see the motor stops turning but the engine noise keeps running I get this too No idea what’s going on but it seems to just stop running in that the motor turns off but the engine noise runs Mines actually a lot worse None of the handset buttons work apart from lights morse and start If I press start the engine noise starts and propellor turns Then only other button that works is take off If I press that the tail lifts, then the entire plane lifts and then the propellor stops and engine noise keeps running and running and running but everything has stopped Overall it’s pretty rubbish

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I have a bigger issue now. The lifters don’t stop anymore and jam in the up position. I think I’m just ganna keep it as a static model. Not good at all.

[@twigwonderkid]

@@WorldofWayneUK yes, I think that’s what I’m going to have to do with mine too. The fit of the panels and the drooping front means judicious glueing which all in turn means can’t take it apart to continually fix. Seriously fed up, as the simple inclusion of the odd test circuit throughout the build to test the wheels, ailerons, and lights would have found if not working they could be replaced at that time. Now I find light doesn’t work and right aileron, and wheels broken. To replace this is serious disconnection and so possibly breakage of cables in pulling them out. So left with a non working unit for which I paid a lot of money

[@edwardbellamy6559]

Ive decided to send mine back even the parts that need changing dont work and not all panels match up so quality is very poor

[@Mckowski101]

Hi Wayne ... Great watching your videos on this first build for me. Uhmmm ... you may have covered this and it's not a biggee ... I take it hachette never released replacement covers for the landing gear covered in Part 28 ? I know you mentioned a 3D Print would be easy enough to do, which I may do myself when I get chance. Incidentally ... I wrote to you a while back about my little Orion Spacecraft FREE 3D printable I did last year (for the NASA'S Project Artemis program). I've heard from 2 gents who are putting it together ... one who is going to fit lights in it, so he says ... so hopefully i'll get pics i can send to you ... hopefully I'll get feedback on any snags if any, he hit during printing and construction. Anyways ... All the best for now ! Regz Mark :-D

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Awesome. No they didn’t send us replacement for that unfortunately

[@joesanchez979]

That is magnificent 😊

[@jakejacobs7584]

Is it possible to buy the whole kit at one time to save on shipping and time? Also do they even ship to the states? Sent an email to Hachette asking same but have received no answer.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I don’t even think this is available anymore

[@jakejacobs7584]

@@WorldofWayneUK Oh well... Looks awesome. I did the Angostini Spit out of wood and metal skin but it wasn't as advanced as this.

[@garrylewis298]

Get rid of the replacement wire & use pile fishing trace wire & crimps ... much better

[@paulmarioday7672]

Hi Wayne, what issue was the metal undercarriage actuating upgrade in? I thought is was 93. However, after paying for the issue and arriving only the Spitfires electronic unit was inclosed. No good to me as I have no worries with that part.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

100

[@randomnickify]

Your landing gears work in reverse - they are up when they should be down and vice versa :)

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. Weird innit

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

Issue93is the hardest of the lot2hours it took me to connect them all up😬😱

[@andrewcutts3197]

I stopped building it when I found out that Hachette had chosen a particular Spitfire that has hardly any clear photos of it. The underside should definitely be duck egg green. I’ve checked endless books on Battle Of Britain Camouflage and Markings. Hachette refused to answer my queries when I put the issue to them.

[@bobbybates2614]

Hi wayne people are having trouble with the landing gear replacement bearing and wire

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I have a bigger issue. My lifters are no longer working. I think I am resigned to the fact this will be a static model

[@sabermaster2000]

Installed the new circuit board yesterday. It works fine when the plane isn’t attached. But when attached it starts ok but then everything cuts out when taking off. Must be an issue with one of the boards.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Is the plug becoming detached as it takes off?

[@sabermaster2000]

@@WorldofWayneUK nope. It starts taking off then all the lights turn on for a brief second and then everything cuts out except for the engine sounds.

[@purplesmurf2010]

Not sure if you're aware but your playlist for this series is backwards - it plays from part 91-94 to Part 1 instead of the other way around.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Ahh I will sort it

[@purplesmurf2010]

@@WorldofWayneUK Thanks so much, always love watching your series whilst I work :)

[@milanondrak5564]

You'd think they'd just release this with the correct gears and wires to start with considering the overall price.

[@malcolmrich9227]

Yes the prototype they used in the original advert worked so they knew about the problems, should change their name to botchette partworks!

[@paulmarioday7672]

Hi, Could anyone tell me what issue was the metal undercarriage actuating upgrade in? I thought is was 93. However, after paying for the issue and arriving only the Spitfires electronic unit was inclosed. No good to me as I have no worries with that part.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Issue 100

[@rickgregory9616]

I'm sorry your plane is not 100% up and working after all the work you put in. It was hard to tell, and I noticed this on John's Ionic Build: Are the gun LEDs working on the port wing? With the number of detected faulty parts, the Big Question no one is asking is: Didn't they test this before release?

[@cornwallkev201]

Hi Rick. If you look on the comments at John's Iconic build, many people have asked if this build was tested before being released and many people believe that it was just manufactured and put on release for the poor subscribers to deal with the problems. Many people, myself included feel that trust with Hachette has now gone. I was a subscriber to building the Titanic but now have cancelled and will NEVER SUBSCRIBE to Hachette ever again.

[@rickgregory9616]

Hi Cornwall - I saw the comments on John's channel - I was making an underhanded (for lack of a better term) comment. I work for a company that develops software for the banking industry - I write customer specifications; and I am always battling engineering and QA for not testing. So, it's a sore spot for me. That said, I agree with you. If Hachette is going to release without QA - they won't last long - and I won't buy from them knowing this.

[@rickgregory9616]

P.S. I retire this year - that makes 2 lack of QA companies I'll have to deal with! 😁

[@cornwallkev201]

Well Rick, the only option, Agora models or the usual plastic model makers.

[@cornwallkev201]

@@rickgregory9616 P.S I hope your retirement goes well and you have a well deserved rest. I'm retired and I'm more busy now than when I worked, the wife makes sure of that.

My wott 4 rc plane has less wires than that and that flies

[@lespatrick658]

This build has turned out to be the same as the Bismarck; in the end disappointing. A lot of time and money investing in both models with little regard by hachette to the end user. I’ve already binned the Spitfire base (£100+ on parts which were not fit for purpose) and accepted its going to be a static model.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I’m in the same boat unfortunately
