I use a mixture of polly cement and super glue for the plastics, I use the super glue for little fiddly bits (Q-bond great stuff) plus you will need super glue for resin parts.

PVA for any transparancies, takes a while to set but dosent cause any frosting like superglue does.

thanks Yorkie

it’s all a bit of a minefield, the review I read on the Tamiya said the undercarriage and wheels were wrong or are aftermarket parts available for it

your Revell bf109F sounds good, does it look like everything fits well?

what I’d like is a kit that doesn’t need loads of filler and modifying requiring skills I’ve probably long forgotten

Not started it yet, from looking at the sprues it looks nice with lots of detail for not much money. Ill be posting up with it soon.

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.

I’ve been mulling this over for weeks, what does the floor polish do?

As Paul says, Decals are best put on to very shiny surface, the theorey is that you get no silvering of the backing film, very gloss surface reduces air bubbles been trapped under the decals.

As you can seen from the tail shot, the Airfix stripes are very translucent.

Did alittle bit more tonite, Finished the decals off. I removed the wing roundels and painted white underneath were the new ones are to be placed.
Tail hook is now added. Next will be some weathering then a coat of flat varnish. Prop is just stuck on with blue tack at mo :rolleyes: will be nice to see in cockpit again when masking is off.
