tonyot Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hiya Folks, As the first lot of Seafires went down OK here is a second batch..starting with; A Seafire IIC built from the Revell Spit Vb kit with Pavla resin wings...I was really impressed with the wings and wish I`d bought a second set! This is another Seafire II, built from the excellent High Planes kit. And another High Planes Seafire II...this one is wearing the RAF style Ocean Grey and Dark Green upper surfaces with Sky undersides...which was applied to many Westland built Seafire Mk.II`s and III`s...instead of the Temperate Sea Scheme of Extra Dark Sea Grey and Dark Slate Grey. Another High Planes Seafire...this is a Mk.III in East Indies Fleet markings. And another High Planes Seafire Mk.III, but in British Pacific Fleet markings. Onto Griffon engined versions...here is a Seafire 15 built from the CMR kit in Royal Canadian Navy markings Next is another CMR kit, but of the most beautiful Spitfire/ Seafire of them all...the Seafire 17 Thats it for now, however I`m in the process of finishing off some later Griffon engined Seafires, the 45, 46 and 47...which will appear soon, Hope you like them and all the best Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Lovely collection there Tony! Have to admit to liking the first IIC most of all, but they're all pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels49 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Another great series Tony,and in 72nd that makes it even more fantastic. However, I have just one little pet peeve if you will, and that is there are some aircraft on which the "sharkmouth" is a natural fit, the P-40 and the F-4E, all others are IMHO not a good fit. Not all Phantastic Phantoms which I love are a good match or the much vaunted "sharkmouth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 As with all collections of Spits/ Seafires, I can never choose a favourite, they're all great. Hmmm, think I have to agree with Cliff about the sharkmouth but hey, the original had it on so....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Phantastic Phantoms which I love are a good match or the much vaunted "sharkmouth". Glad you liked them and I have to agree with you there myself about the shark mouth..but as it was apparently the only Seafire to wear one of these mouth it just had to be done! However those Aussie `Grey Shark' Spits in the Pacific really did suite their much larger large shark mouths..so they don`t look too bad on a Spit! The new 2nd TAF Vol 4 book shows a Typhoon with a sharks mouth which is down right ugly in my view, even though it is probably unique!

atdb27 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Very nice Tony, Can't have too many Spits in what ever mark/scheme IMHO! Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
