Brandy Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 She's turned out reet fine! Well worth all the effort! We know from your other builds that you have a slight masochistic tendency so I'm sure you're more than happy that she fought back a little!

Thanks Simon - she'll look good next to the Sea Fury 10 hours ago, bristol boy said: Looks great aced, those stripes had more wrinkles than Nora Batty's stockings but you seem to have got it sorted. Another completion in the time it's taken me to open the box! Thanks BB - I now know how dodgy it is to use old transfers on a model with needle sharp rivets! Another lesson learned 10 hours ago, Stew Dapple said: She turned out a beauty in the end Ced, nice work mate Cheers, Stew Thanks Stew - glad you like her. I must admit that old Airfix and new modelling standards don't go together that well; nostalgia's not what it used to be! 7 hours ago, stevehnz said: Nice work on this old girl CED, an old favourite done proud. Steve. Thanks Steve - it's that box art isn't it, so evocative! 7 hours ago, stevej60 said: Excellent job Ced,I forgot this kit was out there it's so long since I've seen it,would love a new Airfix offering. Thanks Steve - a new one would be great, it's a nice subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Turned out very nice!!! Just came back and it's already finished again. But that's not unusual. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight_Flyer Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 For an ancient kit, you've managed to turn out a great result. I think Airfix should consider a Firefly as a new 1/72 and 1/48 kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Wow Ced it looks fabulous, you've more than done it justice! I've been so busy recently that I've not had a chance to even look at mine. I've just got back from Cornwall (managed to pop into T7 Models, great little shop) so only just switched on the computer. I'll enjoy watching the Hornet progress as well. Bravo, keep the FAA theme going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks Benedikt - kind of you Thanks Knight_Flyer - nice of you to say so. I agree it would be good to see a new kit Hi Phil - thanks for the kind comments and even more thanks for sending me the kit. Glad you like it!

2wheels Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Built this when I was a kid. Nice to see one again. Firefly's a good looking aircraft too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 That's a terrific result from this old kit. Having built it myself, also wheels up and wings out, I would never have thought one could achieve such a good final product as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It looks so very crisp and smart Ced, what a lovely job . A really very attractive aircraft, your paint and masking work is just superb. You built and finished it in the time it took me to open a tin of paint, stir it and part paint an interior !!! Incredible pace! TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old thumper Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Lovely job, it looks perfect in fact. I can't understand why some people don't like old kits like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks OT, very kind of you. I'm less wary of old kits now (having built a few) but, like the new kits, there are some 'dogs' out there. This kit is not one of them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
