Just thought id post a few pictures of my work in progress, Airfix 1:48 Seafire and Spitfire.
The Seafire is painted and coated with floor polish, just painting the korean war markings on the wings. The Mk 22 is currently awaiting its first coat of primer to show any inperfections ups.

Thankyou for your kind words, believe me though im no modeling expert. The results i’ve achieved (half decent :rolleyes:) can be achieved by anyone 🙂

Mk22 just waiting its canopy
Seafire is now done, I think when i do another, may change a few things next time, I ‘m happy with how this one has come out though.

Looking very nice! Think I’ll do mine with wings folded, canopy open, but I’ll attack the canopy with my trusty file to make it sit better seeing as I’m a tight Yorkshireman and refuse to pay for another canopy!
Dont be so tight! In yorkshire 2:)

Showing differences in the canopys, the top pic is the supplied Airfix item, sits far too high, though i now believe Airfix have fixed this on the new Seafire 17. Bottom pic is of the Aeroclub vacform item, sits much lower.

The varnish hasnt setteled quite right while drying, dried more patchy then a nice even surface, ive flatted it back and redone it, looks better
By: nibb100 - 29th November 2012 at 11:29
I think it looks great especially the second shot,

She’s not looking bad at all! Are you worried the varnish is a touch shiny, or is there something else?
By: Yorkie - 28th November 2012 at 21:31
Wheathered and had a coat of flat varnish, not completely happy with how the varnish has gone on……………:( cockpit opened up again

/ NO !
Why not? It’d only be pushing the Nimrod back down the queue. Oh, and a tatty old Hunter T7 in some poncey civilian scheme someone requested… 😉

By: benyboy - 26th November 2012 at 23:31
/ NO !

By: Blue_2 - 26th November 2012 at 14:20
Both looking nice! Very tempted to let my 47 jump the queue a bit now!
