Those gears look great Chris that's impressive work regards Eamonn

Any chance of some more info on this max sheet? I'd be interested in learning more? When I was working at DUB the The CHC S-61 Coastguard helicopters often used Hangar 3 at Dub overnight, my crew and I used to nosey about chatting to the techs helped passed the time. regards Eamonn

Another beauty Tony but then we expect nothing less this thread has been a revelation so much info & a lot of fun too she looks great well done I'm off to start another Seafire Controversy what colour are the Irish ones really? but I will leave that until after Christmas for everyone's sake it's been a bad enough year already 😆 Glad Airfix acknowledged your contribution & if the rumours are true and it is two seaters next year look forward to watching you put them together too. Have a Merry safe peaceful Christmas regards Eamonn

That's a great looking model Ray lovely interesting scheme well done thanks for sharing regards Eamonn

Cheers Tony I may take you up on your kind offer regarding the decs Joe sheets are getting rarer and rarer sadly lets hope he can reissue some soon. Have to say this model is really taking shape nicely loving the weathering very impressive regards Eamonn

Fabulous photos Wally how noisy was it? thanks for sharing regards Eamonn

My favourite aircraft of all time that is a beautiful model you've captured her very well & improved the shape nicely. I'm with Eric I've many happy memories of lurking airside at hangar one in Dub watching planes like this pass by on the way to the then rwy 24. thanks for sharing regards Eamonn

Incredible attention to detail RCI very impressive work so far, I come out in a cold sweat every time I see the underside of a 320 gashed my head quite badly one night due to my carelessness still have the scar as a reminder. This is coming along nicely well done regards Eamonn

Great info 72 & Giorgio very impressive knowledge and plenty to ponder before I even get to the issue with Irish paint schemes 😆 regards Eamonn

Cheers Tony I don't have the max sheet currently or a Seafire III but the hunt has begun 😆, I've always had a soft spot for the SF-260 but back to your build it's been a real eye opener the info you get on here very impressive sorry for the the thread drift but I had to open the can of worms on the cheap Seafire conversion. Is this the best Airfix 72nd scale Spitfire?or is there room for improvement ? regards As always Eamonn

Another beauty Alex superbly finished thanks for sharing regards Eamonn

The price of the High planes one on the second hand market is excessive the sword one is included in a box set of five not separately, which is a shame and costs a lot more than this new Airfix mold. I was asking a simple question about converting it as Tony is without a doubt the expert on Spits. This build has been a real eye opener regarding info on the different marks of Spits/Seafires Thanks for the info Graham regards Eamonn

Nice information gents you learn something new every on here I'd no intention to clutter Tony's outstanding WIP, it was a simple question as he is the go to man having build many spitfires and Irish seafires in the past. regards Eamonn

Great work Chris & like Moa this is starting to tempt me too your doing a great job on this one too regards Eamonn
