Breaker Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Finished another one, wooo! Trumpeters Supermarine Attacker. My WIP can be found here - http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234969896-supermarine-attacker-gear-on-04122014/ Fairly painless build. I did want to add the correct dihedral to the wings however I had glued the wheel wells in whilst I was prepping the parts and this reinforced the wings too much. I replaced the seat with a Mastercasters MB Mk.2 as the kit seat wasn't nice enough. I spent a long time killing the seams on this one, as it's something I want to improve on with later models. Painted used Alclads primers, clears and metallics with Tamiya for the colour coats. Decals are from the kit and went down really nicely! Worth nothing the underside serials are too small and ignore the Trumpeter instructions, use walk around photos for the demarcation. Tried to get some decent photos, I'm getting there. I'm moving in the new year and I'm hoping to get more space to be able to set an area aside. Presented without any attempts at Weathering, I can't find any photos of a dirty Attacker! Assuming that the Navy wanted a very shiny first jet. Who wants to decide which one I start next?! I can't make my mind up 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Lovely clean build there my friend allthough the Dark sea grey dose look a little bit too dark ? ( lighting perhaps ? ) As for your next build it has to be the Sea Hawk , two RN Jets together would look the part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun is being so temperamental, I was struggling, ended up using the flash a lot. Here's a photo of it in a different light - Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Nice jet, I like that! Makes me want to dig my 1/72nd AZ one out , but must finish something first! I vote for the Sea Fury - such a lovely aeroplane! As to the topsides, weren't they Extra Dark Sea Grey? Going by memory though, so could well be wrong!

dadgaddad Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Ooh! With a Sea Hawk, a Sea Fury and a Wyvern, does it matter which one you do next? I like your style. They had one of these in my LMS last time I was there so I might have to go back and "have a look". Edited December 8, 2014 by dadgaddad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Looks great Breaker And for your next one, you started at the beginning of the alphabet why not continue in the same vein Sea Fury, Sea Hawk then Wyvern Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philtn Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Great model. Well done... Personally I'm a HUGE fan of the Wyvern! Go for the Wyvern... Did I mention the Wyvern? wy not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Turned out a superb build great WIP too.and next one the Seahawk please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Jer, I live in hope of finding it! It wasn't in the bin and there's only so many places it could be in my workshop, so it'll turn up one day! Next one is.... The Sea Hawk! Decided by Newark Air Museum as one of the Gents there on Facebook jumped in it today for me and took some detail photos so it'd be rude not to! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skids Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That looks great. As for the next one they all look good (but the Sea Fury has to be one of the best looking prop aircraft ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonl Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Very nice, very crisp. Notwithstanding the above, it would be the Sea Fury for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
