825 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Here we are; a pair of completed Martlet IVs. Both from HMS Formidable during Operation Torch. One with US stars from 888 Squadron FAA, and the other with wings folded from 893 Squadron (not 888 as per Airfix instructions. Not overly difficult to build, WIP can be found here although the undercarriage was a serious pain and I had challenges with disappearing propeller markings. The prop hubs aren't quite right but they are all black Andy I can live with them. Brush painted with Xtracrylix and artists matt varnish. I think they capture the pugnacious look of Grumman's tubby little fleet fighter. First the 888 machine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Nice work there, I love the cross between RN & US markings. I currently have a Seafire II on the bench that is going to be a Torch Seafire , mix of Roundels and Stars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

825 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Moderators, I've put this in the wrong place. It should be in the Ready For Inspection pages not WIP. I put it up late in the evening and popped it in the wrong place. Can you move it for me please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
